现代设计与知识获取

一个新产品的竞争能力在于产品设计中新知识的含量，在现代设计技术中，必地为开发一个新产品获取新设计知识的能力的发展给予更多的重视，本文讨论了设计知识的结构，获取设计知识的信息来源和处理技术，建议在信息科学，知识工程和计算机技术的基础上发展一个设计知识获取系统和并行设计环境以加速我国制造工业现代化的步伐。

Modern Design and Knowledge Acquisition

Design of products is the soul of manufacturing industry. To improve the situation of manufacturing industries and promote the development of manufacture technology in China,one must distinguish the similarities and the unsimilarities, especially the unsimilarities between the manufacturing industries in developed countries, for example USA and in China. Lack of capacity of how to get developing new products with competive power in the market is the key weakness for most Chinese manufacturing industries in comparison with lack of advanced technology equipment. The most important point in the capacity is how to get design knowledge.The competive power of a new product can be evaluated by the content of new design knowledge in the product. In modern design technique, more attention must be paid to improve the ability of acquisiting new knowledge for a new product to be developed. The structure of design knowledge, the information souces and processing technique for design knowledge acquisition are discussed in the paper. It is suggested that a design knowledge acquisition system and a concurrent design environment should be developed based on information science, knowledge engineering and computer technique to accelerate the modernization steps of manufacturing industries in China.
