Decision Support System for Designing with Polymer Materials – Current Challenges and Future Expectations

“…Alternatively to experts' acquired domain knowledge, we decided to develop an intelligent decision support system (Đurić & Devedžić, 2002;Edwards & Deng, 2007;Kumar & Singh, 2007;Novak & Dolšak, 2008;Turban et al, 2004;Vitanov & Voutchkov, 2005;Zhu et al, 2008) in order to overcome the bottle neck -plastics material selection (Ullah & Harib, 2008). In the input data are a significant factor for intelligent module performance, the results of which depend on knowledge base content.…”

Human cognition as an intelligent decision support system for plastic products’ design

“…Alternatively to experts' acquired domain knowledge, we decided to develop an intelligent decision support system (Ðurić & Devedžić , 2002;Edwards & Deng, 2007;Kumar & Singh, 2007;Novak & Dolšak, 2008;Turban, Aronson, & Liang, 2004;Vitanov & Voutchkov, 2005;Zhu, Lu, & Zou, 2008) in order to overcome the bottle neck -plastics material selection (Ullah & Harib, 2008).

Selection of porous materials in marine system design: The case of heat exchanger aboard ships

“…Ashby et al [13] provided a comprehensive review of the strategies or methods for materials selection, from which three types of materials selection methodology had been identified. A checklist/questionnaire method had been proposed also by a number of researchers on material selection problem, the most recent being described by Edwards [14]. Besides these studies there are a few methodological approaches towards solution of the problem are listed as follows: knowledge-based system [15][16][17], integrated information technology approach [18], fuzzy knowledge based decision support system [19], a case-based reasoning method [20] and computer based material selection system [21].…”
