Abstract/
Summary |
This paper describes an approach to optimize the design process of adaptable products. Therefore self organizing map (SOM) is applied to support the developer. SOM is able to assess the similarity of requirement lists. Assuming that similar requirement lists lead to similar products, the SOM is able to identify the existing product, which has to be changed least to fulfill a new order. For applying SOM, the requirement lists have to be prepared in multiple steps. The requirements have to be structured, transferred into unambiguous language and they have to be quantified. In this paper a focus is put on the quantification of the requirements. |
