Design Project Last updated Nov 22 2010 Change since August 31 added the notes to the presentation in the next slide Overview What We are going to design an IDSS component for an existing software 20 30 pages 12 pt Deadline Wednesday December 1st in class Short presentation Wednesday December 1st in class Notes about presentation Please prepare a 10 15 minute presentation summarizing your design project Please describe what is it about what is the problem you are trying to solve what is the solution main points concentrate on the highlights You obviously don t have to explain what is CBR or how it works Go to the point Suggested Organization Talking Points 1 Abstract 2 Introduction 3 Description of the Software 4 Example of a typical session with the software 5 Description of problems limitations of the Software 6 Description of the IDSS Technique suggested to solve problems limitations of the software 7 Steps to build such a system 8 Example of a session with the enhanced software 9 Conclusions 10 Bibliographical References if needed Note With the exception of 1 2 9 and 10 the name of each section should be more concise precise Suggested Organization Talking Points 2 Title of the work Select something precise concise eye catching Good A Classification System for Credit Card Transactions Eye catching Remembering to Forget A Competence Preserving Deletion Policy for Case Based Reasoning Systems Bad When Should A Cheetah Remind You of a Bat Reminding in Case Based Teaching Suggested Organization Talking Points 3 1 Abstract 5 7 line paragraph concisely describing software selected purpose of the software typical users sketch of limitations IDSS techniques you are going to use 2 Introduction Expand the points above Briefly discuss why you choose the IDSS technique Motivate your work Sell your idea Suggested Organization Talking Points 4 3 Description of software Intended users professional general Purpose Sketch functionality Platform it runs on Windows Solaris Mac 4 Example of a typical session with the software Illustrative of purpose of the software Include snapshots if possible Make sure that is an example you can enhance for 5 and 8 Suggested Organization Talking Points 5 5 Description of problems limitations Describe them Use the example in 4 to illustrate these problems Suggested Organization Talking Points 6 6 Description of the IDSS technique suggested to solve problems limitations of the software the main section Recap what is this technique about Make a strong case as to why this technique would solve those problems Describe the intended functionality of the IDSS Describe input output Describe how the IDSS component interacts with the user Discuss potential benefits Discuss potential problems hurdles Suggested Organization Talking Points 7 7 Steps to build such a system Software Implementation Which components are required to achieve the functionality described in 5 Create a Figure illustrating how these components interact with each other and with the software Describe this figure carefully Knowledge Acquisition Knowledge representation formalism used How is knowledge capture Example of a piece of such knowledge few rules cases etc Suggested Organization Talking Points 8 8 Example of a session with the enhanced software Enhance the one presented in 4 Make sure that it illustrates the solution discussed in 6 9 Conclusion Summarize the problem with the existing software Summarize your solution Recap the reasons why you argue that your solution is good Motivate Important The document must be self contained Do not say we saw this in class You have to explain details with your own words The document must be written so that anyone who reads it will understand the details Read the document and ask yourself would somebody else understand what I am trying to communicate Don t wait until the last minute Start thinking and writing pieces of the document now Ideas for a work like this only come after thinking about the problem several times Last minute work are very easy to spot Example 1 Autocad Note this is just a quick illustration Yours have to be comprehensive What they say AutoCAD is a powerful 2D and 3D design and drafting platform that automates your design tasks and provides digital tools so you can focus on the design rather than the software itself Characteristics Collection of Design tools Distribute design capabilities Manage corporate design standards Deployment and integration features Example 1 1 One of the design tools in the Autocad suit is the Mechanical Desktop a 3D solid modeling system It offers a design throughmanufacturing solution for mechanical designers Characteristics lets you derive parametric features from a nonparametric solid Built in STEP Translator lets you share data quickly Externalize with a Template automates compliance with company drafting standards Example 1 1 5 Two ideas Use of planning techniques to obtain a plan for manufacturing the designed 3D object This can be seen as an initial feedback may prompted the user to make adjustments in his initial design Use of CBR to support the design process by providing similar similar designs on the fly that may help the user to speed up the process Note in the coming slides the ideas for the second design will appear in parenthesis in a few talking points But mostly we ll concentrate on the first idea Example 1 2 Title of the work Select something precise concise eye catching Good A Knowledge based Component on a 3D Solid Modeling Tool eye catching Towards the Next Generation of 3D Solid Modeling Design The Knowledge Dimension Bad How Plan Space Planning Can Help you Reasoning on Holes and Threads Example 1 3 1 Abstract these are talking points Your abstract has tp be flowing text Tool Autocad Mechanical Desktop Description Tool for designing 3D Solid Objects Users Mechanical engineers Limitation Once the object is modeled and interesting question is how can that object be manufactured requirements etc no access to previous designs IDSS techniques you are going to use planning CBR Example 1 3 5 2 Introduction Expand the points above motivate Sell your idea The user may decide to modify its design depending on the requirements for manufacturing speedup the design process Briefly discuss why you choose the IDSS technique Manufacturing can be seen as a planning problem CBR can provide access to known designs Example 1 4 3 Description of software Intended users professional general Purpose Sketch
