Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the project is to improve the applicability of qualitative reasoning to the automation of electrical design analysis tasks. The project will investigate the automated use of modelling information across the lifecycle of an electrical product, and provide guidelines for what information would be provided and how it should be used. It will enable automated reasoning about larger systems than has previously been possible. In order to identify the information needed for automating design analysis, the project will produce practical tools providing automated assistance for electrical engineers in performing several design verification techniques. A major issue in design analysis is that important information is lost when reasoning about subsystems in isolation. For this reason, the project will also develop further the modelling techniques on which such automated assistance is based, in order to enable reasoning about the interactions between multiple systems.Key Words: Artificial intelligence, Automotive design, Modelling, Information Technology, FMEA, Quality Improvements, Diagnosis.
