Learning Functional Models of Biological Systems for Biologically Inspired Design [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2011
Biologically inspired design uses cross-domain analogies from biology to engineering to enhance design creativity and innovation. This analogical transfer requires conceptual understanding of biological systems. In this paper, we describe a prototype interactive knowledge-based design environment called DANE for supporting conceptual understanding ...
