A prototype concurrent engineering tool has been developed for the preliminary design of composite topside structures for modern navy warships. This tool, named GELS for the Concurrent engineering of Layered Structures, provides designers with an immediate assessment of the impacts of their decisions on several disciplines which are important to the performance of a modern naval topside structure, including electromagnetic interference effects (EMI), radar cross section (RCS), structural integrity, cost, and weight. Preliminary analysis modules in each of these disciplines are integrated to operate from a common set of design variables and a common materials database. Performance in each discipline and an overall fitness function for the concept are then evaluated. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to define requirements and to display the results from the technical analysis modules. Optimization techniques, including feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP) and exhaustive search are used to modify the design variables to satisfy all requirements simultaneously. The development of this tool, the technical modules, and their integration are discussed noting the decisions and compromises required to develop and integrate the modules into a prototype conceptual design tool.

The objectives of Human engineering (HE) are generally viewed as increasing human performance, reducing human error, enhancing personnel and equipment safety, and reducing training and related personnel costs. There are other benefits that are thoroughly consistent with the direction of the Navy of the future, chief among these is reduction of required numbers of personnel to operate and maintain Navy ships. The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) report on Man-Machine Technology in the Navy estimated that one of the benefits from increased application of man-machine technology to Navy ship design is personnel reduction as well as improving system availability, effectiveness, and safety The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of the human engineering design of ships and systems that affect manning requirements, and impact human-performance and safety The paper will also discuss how the application of human engineering leads to improved performance, and crew safety, and reduced workload, all of which influence manning levels. Finally, the paper presents a discussion of tools and case studies of good human engineering design practices which reduce manning.

In an era of fiscal austerity, downsizing and unforgiving pressure upon human and economic capital, it is an Augean task to identify resources for fresh and creative work. The realities of the day and the practical demands of more immediate fleet needs can often dictate higher priorities. Yet, the Navy must avoid eating its seed corn. Exercising both technical insight and management foresight, the fleet, the R&D community, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) and the product engineering expertise of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) are joined and underway with integrated efforts to marry new, fully demonstrated technologies and operational urgencies. Defense funding today cannot sponsor all work that can be mission-justified over the long term because budgets are insufficient to support product maturation within the classical development cycle. However, by rigorous technical filtering and astute engineering of both marketplace capabilities and currently available components, it is possible in a few select cases to compress and, in effect, integrate advanced development (6.3), engineering development (6.4), weapon procurement (WPN), ship construction (SCN), operation and maintenance (O&M,N) budgetary categories when fleet criticalities and technology opportunities can happily meet. In short, 6.3 funds can be applied directly to ''ripe gateways'' so modern technology is inserted into existing troubled or aging systems, sidestepping the lengthy, traditional development cycle and accelerating practical payoffs to recurrent fleet problems. To produce such constructive results has required a remarkable convergence of sponsor prescience and engineering workforce excellence. The paper describes, extensively, the philosophy of approach, transition strategy, polling of fleet needs, technology assessment, and management team requirements. The process for culling and selecting specific candidate tasks for SHARP sponsorship (matching operational need with t

This paper discusses the downsizing and speed improvement of short-word multiplier-accumulators, which are frequently used in digital signal processors. As a first step, the optimal configuration for an array-type carry-save adder is considered where the shortest path in the full-adder is used to propagate the sum signal and the carry signal is sent to the full-adder of the two lower stages by skipping a stage. A configuration of the full-adder suitable for the structure is proposed. The case of eight partial product additions shows that the delay can be reduced by 22 percent compared to a simple array-type carry-save adder. Then the short-word carry look-ahead adder using the pass-transistor logic is considered. It is shown that a single-stage carry look-ahead circuit with a four-bitwise iterative structure exhibits nearly the same delay as a two-stage carry look-ahead circuit. In other words, the former is better suited to downsizing. This paper intends to examine the effectiveness of the foregoing new array-type carry-save adder and the single-stage carry look-ahead circuit using the 0.5-mu m CMOS technology. A 16-bit x 14-bit + 31-bit multiplier-accumulator has been designed and is evaluated for cases where the array-type carry-save adder is used to handle accumulation as well as partial products. The resulting area and delay are 0.77 x 0.78 mm(2) and 6.8 ns, respectively. The effectiveness of the approach used in this paper is evaluated by constructing a multiplier-accumulator, but the method is also useful in constructing a multiplier.

The Fleet continues to require high performance systems that can operate with dependability in the seas' unforgiving environments and under hostile action. Those demands are not new. What has changed is the urgent priority formerly assigned to national defense issues. The arguments for continued superpower military strength are now roiled in politics along with unsettled budgets and uncertain force level projections. Current expectations revolve about indefinite fiscal and operational issues (difficult funding constraints and broadband threats). In the actual event of ''doing more with less,'' a practical response is to apply the creative power available from sound engineering judgement and the crucible of experience to the immediate needs of the Fleet. The attempt to shorten the path between advanced development effort and Fleet use has been tried occasionally in the past, often, without exemplary results. The Sustainable Hardware and Affordable Readiness Practices (SHARP) program, is a generic R&D effort under OpNav sponsorship that has been working steadily on sensible solutions to product engineering problems. Armed today with fast-time, large-scale computation abilities and modern tools for technical problem solving coupled with specialized engineering knowledge, it has been refreshed and is underway satisfying existing Fleet needs. The relationship between fully responsive engineering services and current operational needs is always demanding. The connection between advanced engineering development (6.3 category funds) and immediate Fleet usage brings added complexity and challenge, both technical and organizational. Illustrative examples of affordable engineering solutions to ''retain, revise, replace or retire'' questions are presented within the context of both Fleet realities and budgetary limitations. The discussion covers legacy system support, civil/military considerations and Fleet maintenance issues. It describes the substantial and critical payoffs i

AUTOMATING KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION - A PROPOSITIONAL APPROACH TO REPRESENTING EXPERTISE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO REPERTORY GRID TECHNIQUE

引用

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA engineering 1995年第1期7卷 53-67页

作者： BATTY, D KAMEL, MS Machine Intelligence Laboratory Department of Systems Design Engineering University of Waterloo Waterloo ONT Canada

Repertory grid technique plays a central role in the elicitation methodology of many well-reported knowledge acquisition tools or workbenches. However, the dependability of these systems is low where the technique breaks down or proves inadequate due to limited expressive power and other problems. This paper introduces an alternate approach based on Personal Construct Theory that elicits an expert's knowledge as a network of terms that constitutes a propositional formalism. An extended example is used to both highlight the difficulties encountered using repertory grids and illustrate how these are overcome using the proposed approach. The results of an empirical study are presented where an experienced clinician compared the knowledge structures that she constructed for a diagnostic task using each elicitation technique. Furthermore, although the network representation is amenable to inductive learning methods for generating production rules, an inference method is demonstrated which reveals the formalism's categorical reasoning potential. The authors conclude it is more appropriate to classify such methods as either mediating or immediate rather than the knowledge structures they employ. The paper contributes to a better understanding of constructivist formalisms developed for knowledge acquisition.

Presents a connectionist model that can learn human grasping rules. The model domain is a taxonomy of manufacturing grasps. The input vector specifies task and object attributes such as dexterity and shape, and the model predicts the required grasp. Experiments show that the model is capable of learning grasping rules and predicting correct grasps for new objects that it has not been trained on. The authors finally discuss how this model can be used as part of a robotic system for grasping objects.

This paper is concerned with segmenting light intensity images for the sake of compressing them using lossy compression techniques. Among the most commonly used techniques for image segmentation is quad-tree partitioning. In this technique, block variance based criteria are usually used to measure the smoothness of the segmented blocks and to consequently classify them. Block variance, however, does not consider the pixel value distribution within the block. Instead of using the block variance as a segmentation and classification measure, we propose using the mean squared deviation from the neighboring pixels mean. The proposed measure is capable of differentiating between blocks not only according to block pixel values but also according to their distribution within the block. This leads to a much better image segmentation and consequently to higher image compression ratios with lower image degradation. The results show the superiority of the proposed measure over the block variance measure.

The article is intended to advance both conceptual and implementation techniques of supervised and discovery-driven neural networks in noisy time varying signal processing applications. Successful neural networks and their significance in applications are based on; selection of proper theoretical algorithms for learning, appropriate selection of the sequencing of signal processing tasks, and efficient VLSI system implementation. We present a pattern discovery self organizing feature map (SOFM), followed by a recurrent dynamic neural network (RDNN) algorithm for signal representation and processing. This approach combines the benefits of RDNNs with its SOFM counter part. Preliminary designs, implementations, test results and validation of silicon-chips for each of the above neural network approach are also presented.
