Knowledge Discoveries and Emergent Synthesis in Conceptual ReDesign Process

Integration of a few disciplines is performed in the synthesis of a conceptual design problem emergent solution: knowledge discovery, emergent synthesis, contextual knowledge representation, ontology and semantic modelling. The paper introduces a conceptual basis of the synthesis method and describes main properties of an algorithm for conceptual redesign process (CRDP). The algorithm uses three contexts local (LOC), global (GLB) and problem context (PCX) and special variable (degree of emergence) for measurement of distances between ordinary and emergent solutions. The implementation of the method is illustrated by simple examples of conceptual redesign problem
