Evolutionary computation is emerging as a new engineering computational paradigm, which
may significantly change the present structural design practice. For this reason, an extensive …

This paper deals with supporting the design of building floor plans. Floor layouts are
represented by labelled and attributed graphs. These graphs are generated using graph …

In this paper an evolutionary technique is proposed as a method for generating new design
solutions with genotypes represented in the form of hierarchical hypergraphs. Such …

For a long time, engineering design research has been focused on the development of
various design theories, methodologies, methods, tools, and procedures. The design …

The paper presents several types of graphs used to model engineering, design, and
computer science problems. In the described approach, graphs are used as the …

This paper deals with the problems of hierarchical representation of skeletal structures and
their optimization by means of an evolutionary algorithm. We describe the main advantages …

The use of a genetic algorithm in evolutionary design is one of the major generative
approaches for synthesis and evaluation during the design process. The process stimulates …

In this paper a graph transformation system with the parallel derivation is used to model the
process of distribution and adaptation for computer aided design. It is based on earlier …

This paper deals with a graph grammar model of cooperation and distribution for generating
designs in computer aided design domain. It is based on earlier research in formal language …

This paper proposes a new methodology for computer-aided design of layouts of buildings.
The presented methodology addresses the very early phase of designing that is called …
