Abstract:

The ability to obtain complex global behaviour from simple local rules makes cellular automata an interesting platform for massively parallel computation. However, manually designing a cellular automaton to perform a given computation can be extremely difficult, and automated design techniques such as genetic programming have their limitations because of the absence of human intuition. In this paper, we propose elements of a framework whose goal is to make the manual synthesis of cellular automata rules exhibiting desired global characteristics more programmer-friendly, while maintaining the simplicity of local processing elements. Although many of the framework elements that we describe here are not new, we group them into a consistent framework and show that they can all be implemented on a traditional cellular automaton, which means that they are merely more human-friendly ways of describing simple cellular automata rules, and not foreign structures that require changing the traditional cellular automaton model.

Abstract:

To resolve the problem of a large amount of automated test scripts and test data files, through the test tool QTP, data-driven and keyword-driven testing mechanism, a test automation framework based on three layer data-driven mechanism is designed, including the design of the TestSet managing test case files, the design of the TestCase storing test cases and the design of the TestData storing test data.Through controlling the test scale and applying the test data pool, reconfigurable and optimization of test scripts are designed. The methods above can decouple the test design and the script development, make test cases and data show a more humane design, make test scripts and test data on the business level optimized and reusable, and make the number of script files and the test data files reache a minimum, which reduces the occupied space.

Abstract:

A substantial effort, in general, is required for understanding APIs of application frameworks. High-quality API documentation may alleviate the effort, but the production of such documentation still poses a major challenge for modern frameworks. To facilitate the production of framework instantiation documentation, we hypothesize that the framework code itself and the code of existing instantiations provide useful information. However, given the size and complexity of existent code, automated approaches are required to assist the documentation production. Our goal is to assess an automated approach for constructing relevant documentation for framework instantiation based on source code analysis of the framework itself and of existing instantiations. The criterion for defining whether documentation is relevant would be to compare the documentation with an traditional framework documentation, considering the time spent and correctness during instantiation activities, information usefulness, complexity of the activity, navigation, satisfaction, information localization and clarity. We propose an automated approach for constructing relevant documentation for framework instantiation based on source code analysis of the framework itself and of existing instantiations. The proposed approach generates documentation in a cookbook style, where the recipes are programming activities using the necessary API elements driven by the framework features. We performed an empirical study, consisting of three experiments with 44 human subjects executing real framework instantiations aimed at comparing the use of the proposed cookbooks to traditional manual framework documentation (baseline). Our empirical assessment shows that the generated cookbooks performed better or, at least, with non-significant difference when compared to the traditional documentation, evidencing the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract:

This paper presents a framework for high-level exploration, Register Transfer-Level (RTL) design and rapid prototyping of Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures. From the high-level exploration, a selected NoC topology is derived, which is then implemented in RTL using an automated design flow. Furthermore, for verification purposes, appropriate self-checking testbenches for the verification of the RTL and architecture files for the semi-automatic implementation of the system in Xilinx EDK are also generated, significantly reducing design and verification time, and therefore Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) cost. Simulation and FPGA implementation results are given for four case studies multimedia applications, proving the validity of the proposed approach.

Abstract:

Drawing on business rules for constructing business process models by a constraint-driven methodology is a distinct characteristic of declarative process modeling. Given the intricacies of business rules, there is a pragmatic need to conduct conflict-free assessments for business rules in an automatic manner. In this paper, business rules are stated in terms of restricted English by harnessing a group of predefined business rule templates. With linear temporal logic that serves as a semantic foundation for the business rule templates, a pair of business rules represented as a linear temporal logic specification is translated into an associated Büchi automaton via LTL2BA, LTL3BA and ltl2tgba. A Büchi automaton that accepts the empty language signifies that the two business rules are in conflict with each other. The suitability of the formal framework and the three automated tools is evaluated by an industry-level case study.

Abstract:

In this study, we propose an automated design system for an image recognition algorithm applicable to picking work in general and actual factory environments. Considering that an image recognition algorithm design consists of frameworks for selecting a rough recognition method from any of the three basic procedures of pre-processing of contained images, feature-extraction, and discrimination, we formulate it as an optimization problem and propose a random multi-start optimization method by which to derive solutions. We have conducted four types of evaluation experiments for the following four combinations: large or small degrees of similarity in the shape of objects to be recognized and whether they have patterned surfaces. The evaluation experiments show that the proposed design system succeeds in selecting a framework that fits the features of the objects to be recognized and that the designed basic processes have an F measure of 0.9 or more.

Abstract:

Methods and software tools for automated design and generation of OpenCL programs based on the algebra of algorithms are proposed. OpenCL is a framework for developing parallel software that executes across heterogeneous platforms consisting of general-purpose processors and/or hardware accelerators. The proposed approach consists in using high-level algebra-algorithmic specifications of programs represented in natural linguistic form and rewriting rules. The developed software tools provide the automated design of algorithm schemes based on a superposition of Glushkov algebra constructs that are considered as reusable components. The tools automatically generate code in a target programming language on the basis of the specifications. In most computing problems, a large part of hardware resources is utilized by computations inside loops, therefore the use of automatic parallelization of cyclic operators is most efficient for them. However, the existing automatic code parallelizing tools, such as Par4All, don’t account the limited amount of accelerator’s onboard memory space while real-life problems demand huge amounts of data to be processed. Thus, there is a need for the development of a parallelization technique embracing the cases of massive computational tasks involving big data. In the paper, a method and a software tool for semi-automatic parallelization of cyclic operators based on loop tiling and data serialization are developed. The parallelization technique uses rewriting rules system to transform programs. The framework for parallelization of loops for optimization of computations using graphics processing units allows semi-automatic parallelization of sequential programs. The approach is illustrated on an example of developing a parallel OpenCL image convolution program.

Abstract:

Abstract. This work proposes a modeling framework to enhance the industry-standard BSIM4 MOSFET models with capabilities for coupled electro-thermal simulations. An automated simulation environment extracts thermal information from model data as provided by the semiconductor foundry. The standard BSIM4 model is enhanced with a Verilog-A based wrapper module, adding thermal nodes which can be connected to a thermal-equivalent RC network. The proposed framework allows a fully automated extraction process based on the netlist of the top-level design and the model library. A numerical analysis tool is used to control the extraction flow and to obtain all required parameters. The framework is used to model self-heating effects on a fully integrated class A/AB power amplifier (PA) designed in a standard 65 nm CMOS process. The PA is driven with +30 dBm output power, leading to an average temperature rise of approximately 40 °C over ambient temperature.

Abstract:

Dimensioning and assessment of a specific wind turbine imply iterative steps for design optimization, as well as load calculations and performance analyses of the system in various environmental conditions. However, due to the complexity of wind turbine systems, fully coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic codes are indispensable to represent and simulate the non-linear system behavior. To cope with the large number of simulations to be performed during the design process of a wind turbine system, automation of simulation executions and optimization procedures are required. In this paper, such a holistic simulation and optimization framework is presented, by which means iterative simulations within the wind turbine design assessment and development processes can be managed and executed in an automated and high-performance manner. The focus lies on the application to design load case simulations, as well as the realization of automated optimizations. The proper functioning and the high flexibility of the framework tool is shown based on three exemplary optimization tasks.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to propose an automated framework for agile development and simulation of robotic palletizing cells. An automatic offline programming tool, for a variety of robot brands, is also introduced. Design/methodology/approach This framework, named AdaptPack Studio, offers a custom-built library to assemble virtual models of palletizing cells, quick connect these models by drag and drop, and perform offline programming of robots and factory equipment in short steps. Findings Simulation and real tests performed showed an improvement in the design, development and operation of robotic palletizing systems. The AdaptPack Studio software was tested and evaluated in a pure simulation case and in a real-world scenario. Results have shown to be concise and accurate, with minor model displacement inaccuracies because of differences between the virtual and real models. Research limitations/implications An intuitive drag and drop layout modeling accelerates the design and setup of robotic palletizing cells and automatic offline generation of robot programs. Furthermore, A* based algorithms generate collision-free trajectories, discretized both in the robot joints space and in the Cartesian space. As a consequence, industrial solutions are available for production in record time, increasing the competitiveness of companies using this tool. Originality/value The AdaptPack Studio framework includes, on a single package, the possibility to program, simulate and generate the robot code for four different brands of robots. Furthermore, the application is tailored for palletizing applications and specifically includes the components (Building Blocks) of a particular company, which allows a very fast development of new solutions. Furthermore, with the inclusion of the Trajectory Planner, it is possible to automatically develop robot trajectories without collisions.

Abstract:

Healthcare projects are known for having a high degree of complexity. Furthermore, the design of healthcare facilities is highly constrained by regulations containing a wide range of requirements. Using BIM for automated rule checking has been pointed out as an opportunity to improve requirements management in these projects. However, most existing research is focused on hard-coded approaches or on limited sets of requirements. The aim of this investigation is to propose a semantic-based framework for automated rule checking in the context of healthcare design. An empirical study was conducted in the redevelopment of a university hospital, using Design Science Research as a methodological approach. Results indicate that the nature of regulations and the subjectivity of requirements have a major impact on the possibility of their translation into logical rules, which is needed to enable automated checking. The main theoretical contribution is a taxonomy for automated rule checking and information transformation.

Abstract:

AbstractSince the introduction of spatial grammars 45 years ago, numerous grammars have been developed in a variety of fields from architecture to engineering design. Their benefits for solution space exploration when computationally implemented and combined with optimization have been demonstrated. However, there has been limited adoption of spatial grammars in engineering applications for various reasons. One main reason is the missing, automated, generalized link between the designs generated by the spatial grammar and their evaluation through finite-element analysis (FEA). However, the combination of spatial grammars with optimization and simulation has the advantage over continuous structural topology optimization in that explicit constraints, for example, modeling style and fabrication processes, can be included in the spatial grammar. This paper discusses the challenges in providing a generalized approach by demonstrating the implementation of a framework that combines a three-dimensional spatial grammar interpreter with automated FEA and stochastic optimization using simulated annealing (SA). Guidelines are provided for users to design spatial grammars in conjunction with FEA and integrate automatic application of boundary conditions. A simulated annealing method for use with spatial grammars is also presented including a new method to select rules through a neighborhood definition. To demonstrate the benefits of the framework, it is applied to the automated design and optimization of spokes for inline skate wheels. This example highlights the advantage of spatial grammars for modeling style and additive manufacturing (AM) constraints within the generative system combined with FEA and optimization to carry out topology and shape optimization. The results verify that the framework can generate structurally optimized designs within the style and AM constraints defined in the spatial grammar, and produce a set of topologically diverse, yet valid design solutions.

Abstract:

AbstractThe assessment of answers is an important process that requires great effort from evaluators. This assessment process requires high concentration without any fluctuations in mood. This substantiates the need to automate answer script evaluation. Regarding text answer evaluation, sentence similarity measures have been widely used to compare student written answers with reference texts. In this paper, we propose an automated answer evaluation system that uses our proposed cosine-based sentence similarity measures to evaluate the answers. Cosine measures have proved to be effective in comparing between free text student answers and reference texts. Here we propose a set of novel cosine-based sentence similarity measures with varied approaches of creating document vector space. In addition to this, we propose a novel synset-based word similarity measure for computation of document vectors coupled with varied approaches for dimensionality-reduction for reducing vector space dimensions. Thus, we propose 21 cosine-based sentence similarity measures and measured their performance using MSR paraphrase corpus and Li’s benchmark datasets. We also use these measures for automatic answer evaluation system and compare their performances using the Kaggle short answer and essay dataset. The performance of the system-generated scores is compared with the human scores using Pearson correlation. The results show that system and human scores have correlation between each other.

Branch-line couplers (BLCs) are important components of wireless communication systems. Conventional BLCs are often characterized by large footprints which make miniaturization an important pre-requisite for their application in modern devices. State-of-the-art approaches to design compact BLCs are largely based on the use of high-permittivity substrates and multi-layer topologies. Alternative methods involve replacement of transmission-line sections of the circuit, with their composite counterparts, referred to as compact cells (CCs). Due to the efficient use of available space, CC-based couplers are often characterized by small footprints. The design of compact BLCs is normally conducted based on engineering experience. The process is laborious and requires many adjustments of topology followed by manual or, semi-automatic tuning of design parameters. In this work, a framework for low-cost automated design of compact BLCs using pre-defined CCs is proposed. The low cost of the presented design technique is ensured using equivalent-circuit models, space mapping correction methods, and trust-region-based local optimization algorithms. The performance of the framework is demonstrated based on three examples, concerning the design of unequal-power split coupler, comparison of automatically generated compact BLCs, as well as rapid re-design of the coupler for different substrates. Furthermore, the approach has been benchmarked against the state-of-the-art methods for low-cost design of circuits.

Abstract:

This paper proposes a GateRL that is an automated circuit design framework of CMOS logic gates based on reinforcement learning. Because there are constraints in the connection of circuit elements, the action masking scheme is employed. It also reduces the size of the action space leading to the improvement on the learning speed. The GateRL consists of an agent for the action and an environment for state, mask, and reward. State and reward are generated from a connection matrix that describes the current circuit configuration, and the mask is obtained from a masking matrix based on constraints and current connection matrix. The action is given rise to by the deep Q-network of 4 fully connected network layers in the agent. In particular, separate replay buffers are devised for success transitions and failure transitions to expedite the training process. The proposed network is trained with 2 inputs, 1 output, 2 NMOS transistors, and 2 PMOS transistors to design all the target logic gates, such as buffer, inverter, AND, OR, NAND, and NOR. Consequently, the GateRL outputs one-transistor buffer, two-transistor inverter, two-transistor AND, two-transistor OR, three-transistor NAND, and three-transistor NOR. The operations of these resultant logics are verified by the SPICE simulation.

Abstract:

AbstractPolicymakers have attempted to preemptively address the concern of ethical issues with the regulation of automated vehicles. Unfortunately, both policymakers and designers of these technologies struggle to articulate ethical issues and their resolution. We propose a framework that engineers and designers of automated technologies can apply that allows them to identify and resolve ethical tensions within the design task. We demonstrate the practicability of the framework to the engineering design process through a human-subject study where engineers applied the framework in a workshop.

Abstract:

The increasingly used approach of combining different simulation softwares in testing of automated driving systems (ADSs) increases the need for potential and convenient software designs. Recently developed co-simulation platforms (CSPs) provide the possibility to cover the high demand for testing kilometers for ADSs by combining vehicle simulation software (VSS) with traffic flow simulation software (TFSS) environments. The emphasis on the demand for testing kilometers is not enough to choose a suitable CSP. The complexity levels of the vehicle, object, sensors, and environment models used are essential for valid and representative simulation results. Choosing a suitable CSP raises the question of how the test procedures should be defined and constructed and what the relevant test scenarios are. Parameters of the ADS, environments, objects, and sensors in the VSS, as well as traffic parameters in the TFSS, can be used to define and generate test scenarios. In order to generate a large number of scenarios in a systematic and automated way, suitable and appropriate software designs are required. In this paper, we present a software design for a CSP based on the Model–View–Controller (MVC) design pattern as well as an implementation of a complex CSP for virtual testing of ADSs. Based on this design, an implementation of a CSP is presented using the VSS from IPG Automotive (CarMaker) and the TFSS from the PTV Group (Vissim). The results showed that the presented CSP design and the implementation of the co-simulation can be used to generate relevant scenarios for testing of ADSs.

Abstract:

Grasp planning and motion synthesis for dexterous manipulation tasks are traditionally done given a pre-existing kinematic model for the robotic hand. In this paper, we introduce a framework for automatically designing hand topologies best suited for manipulation tasks given high-level objectives as input. Our pipeline is capable of building custom hand designs around specific manipulation tasks based on high-level user input. Our framework comprises of a sequence of trajectory optimizations chained together to translate a sequence of objective poses into an optimized hand mechanism along with a physically feasible motion plan involving both the constructed hand and the object. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by synthesizing a series of hand designs optimized to perform specified in-hand manipulation tasks of varying difficulty. We extend our original pipeline 32 to accommodate the construction of hands suitable for multiple distinct manipulation tasks as well as provide an in depth discussion of the effects of each non-trivial optimization term.

Abstract:

Many state highway agencies are in the process of implementing the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED) software for routine pavement design. However, a recurring implementation challenge has been the need to locally calibrate the software to reflect an agency’s design and construction practices, materials, and climate. This study introduced a framework to automate the calibration processes of the PMED performance models. This automated technique can search PMED output files and identify relevant damages/distresses for a project on a particular date. After obtaining this damage/distress information, the technique conducts model verification with the global calibration factors. Transfer function coefficients are then automatically derived following an optimization technique and numerical measures of goodness-of-fit. An equivalence statistical testing approach is conducted to ensure predicted performance results are in agreement with the measured data. The automated technique allows users to select one of three sampling approaches: split sampling, jackknifing, or bootstrapping. Based on the sampling approach chosen, the automated technique provides the calibration coefficients or suitable ranges for the coefficients and shows the results graphically. Model bias, standard error, sum squared error, and p-value from the paired t-test are also reported to assess efficacy of the calibration process.

Abstract:

This paper presents two novel automated optimization approaches. The first one proposes a framework to optimize wind turbine blades by integrating multidisciplinary 3D parametric modeling, a physics-based optimization scheme, the Inverse Blade Element Momentum (IBEM) method, and 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulation; the second method introduces a framework combining 3D parametric modeling and an integrated goal-driven optimization together with a 4D Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) solver. In the first approach, the optimization toolbox operates concurrently with the other software packages through scripts. The automated optimization process modifies the parametric model of the blade by decreasing the twist angle and increasing the local angle of attack (AoA) across the blade at locations with lower than maximum 3D lift/drag ratio until a maximum mean lift/drag ratio for the whole blade is found. This process exploits the 3D stall delay, which is often ignored in the regular 2D BEM approach. The second approach focuses on the shape optimization of individual cross-sections where the shape near the trailing edge is adjusted to achieve high power output, using a goal-driven optimization toolbox verified by 4D URANS Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for the whole rotor. The results obtained from the case study indicate that (1) the 4D URANS whole rotor simulation in the second approach generates more accurate results than the 3D RANS single blade simulation with periodic boundary conditions; (2) the second approach of the framework can automatically produce the blade geometry that satisfies the optimization objective, while the first approach is less desirable as the 3D stall delay is not prominent enough to be fruitfully exploited for this particular case study.

Abstract:

Tracking types and extent of pavement deterioration is critical for maintaining road networks in a serviceable condition. The prevailing methods for obtaining pavement condition data include manual and semiautomated surveys, which are time-consuming and involve significant human intervention. Extensive research has been performed in automating the process for more efficient, objective, and repeatable distress evaluations. This paper highlights the preliminary results from an effort sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation to develop and implement automated software for identification and quantification of pavement surface cracking distresses. A technical framework was developed for systematic evaluation of available automated technologies in contrast to manual methods. Pertinent performance measures were identified to evaluate the accuracy, precision, repeatability, reproducibility, and efficiency of various methods. This framework was implemented to determine the gaps in effectiveness of automated applications, to design corresponding solutions, and to gauge reliability expectations accordingly. The evaluation follows two main steps: ( a) comparison of the cumulative quantities of various distress types found in manual surveys versus automated surveys and ( b) verification of the automatically detected distresses against reference crack maps generated through a semiautomated process of manually rating the collected images. Although the overall comparison of distress quantities indicates strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated algorithm, the distress by distress verification of software performance is used to identify design solutions for addressing the indicated weaknesses. The guidelines in this systematic framework can be modified with context-sensitive considerations to be applicable to other highway agencies transitioning to automated applications.
