DAI Motivation & Background

Challenges:

• Diversity of product types, analysis disciplines, and solution tools
• Heterogeneous transformations
• Multi-fidelity idealizations

One Solution: The Multi-Representation Architecture (MRA)

Focus: Automation of routine analysis.

DAI Research History at Georgia Tech

• Before 1985 - Initiated at NASA by Prof. Robert E. Fulton (e.g., IPAD Project).

• Since 1985 - Continued at Georgia Tech by Prof. Fulton and his students.

  Example Dissertations:

  • Yeh, C. P. (1992) An Integrated Information Framework for Multidisciplinary PWB Design.
  • Peak, R. S. (1993) Product Model-Based Analytical Models (PBAMs): A New Representation of Engineering Analysis Models.
  • Zhou, W. X. (1997) Modularized & Parametric Modeling Methodology for Concurrent Mechanical Design of Electronic Packaging

• 1993-1995 - Continued at Hitachi, Ltd. by Dr. Russell S. Peak under Dr. Noriaki Okamoto (MERL Section 36).

• Since 1996 - Continued in the Georgia Tech EIS Lab under the joint direction of Bob Fulton and Russell Peak.
