ABSTRACT Architectural synthesis is a key phase of the conceptual design process. In the constant evolution of complex systems, architects have found it difficult to carry out an exhaustive search of all the feasible architectural solutions for a set of given requirements. This paper proposes a computational synthesis framework that automatically generates, from a set of formatted requirements and a sub-systems database, all architectures that are requirement consistent, minimalist regarding the number of components and non-redundant. The resolution principles are based on graph theory representations and Constraint Programming solving techniques. Key features of the framework and an application example are also detailed.

概念设计阶段自动架构合成的框架

摘要 建筑综合是概念设计过程的关键阶段。在复杂系统不断发展的过程中，架构师发现很难针对一组给定的需求对所有可行的架构解决方案进行详尽的搜索。本文提出了一种计算综合框架，该框架从一组格式化的需求和子系统数据库中自动生成所有需求一致、组件数量极少且非冗余的架构。解析原理基于图论表示和约束规划求解技术。还详细介绍了该框架的主要功能和应用示例。缩写：AO：建筑对象；BPMN：业务流程模型和符号；CSP：约束满足问题；帝斯曼：设计结构矩阵；SE：系统工程。
