Knowledge Bases and Decision Support in CAD . At 3 p.m.. H. 1. » Authors B. A. Kochurova and Yu. About. Hermana is a significant work in the field of computer-aided design (CAD) systems, which is aimed at specialists, students and anyone interested in modern design and development technologies. This is the first part of a three-volume publication, and it immerses the reader in the world of knowledge bases and their role in supporting decision-making in complex design systems. In this book, the authors explore in detail how knowledge bases can be integrated into design processes, enabling more efficient and informed decision-making. The reader will learn about various methods and approaches to creating and using knowledge bases, as well as how they can help in automating the design and optimization of processes. Kochurov and Herman share their experience and knowledge, which makes the material accessible and understandable even for those who are just starting their way in this area. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from students of technical universities to experienced engineers and designers who seek to improve their skills and improve the efficiency of their work. If you are interested in engineering, information technology or just want to learn more about modern approaches to design, this publication will be a real find for you. It will also be useful to those working in the field of software development, as many of the concepts and methods described in the book can be applied in this area. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues related to design and decision-making. The authors emphasize the importance of a systematic approach that integrates different sources of information and knowledge to achieve the best results. They discuss how knowledge bases can serve as a basis for creating intelligent systems that are able to independently analyze data and offer optimal solutions. This makes the book especially relevant in the context of the rapid development of technology and the constant increase in the amount of information that designers face. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes it easy to assimilate even the most complex concepts.
