INTEGRATED INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE SYSTEMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

When mechanical Engineering is going from information-processing automation to decision-making automation, Intelligence Engineering (IE) plays a key role. IE focuses on the study of proper techniques in knowledge processing, including knowledge acquisition, representation, integration, coordination, management and utilization, and integrated intelligent software systems to realize such technique on computers. To face the challenge of the upcomig knowledge-intensive industry and the complexity of real world problems, it is necessary to integrate analytic form of knowledge with heuristics, integrade several expert systems with numerical packages, integrate different functions and tasks, integrate information process in different media, for raising capability of automatically handling practical engineering applications. This paper indicates the importance of IE, and discusses the architecture, principles, functions and characteristics of integrated intelligent software systems with a proposed parallel hierarchical structure. It also brings out proposals for reseach on IE applications in mechanical engineering, especially for CIMS.
