Economic development, variation in weather patterns and natural disasters focus attention
on the management of water resources. This paper reviews the literature on the …

This paper presents an improved taboo search genetic algorithm (ITSGA) for intelligent
design of ship multi-deck compartment layout (SMCL). The optimization of ship multi-deck …

Traditionally, the ship cabin layout is designed by experts with the help of CAD, GAD, etc.
The layout is usually drawn and designed repeatedly, which is not only labor-intensive but …

Abstract Design space reduction decisions made in set-based design use perceptions of
feasibility to eliminate unfavorable design solutions from consideration. Perceptions are …

The layout design of ship engine room belongs to the multi-objective optimization design
problem in confined space. This paper proposes an intelligent three-dimensional (3D) layout …

An early-stage design model is presented that estimates personnel locations on board a
vessel during times of evacuation. This model takes into account various levels of …

The adoption of alternative energy carriers is one of the key ways to meet the increasingly
stricter emission regulations faced by shipping vessels from the international maritime …

The world has seen a rapid transition to a lower carbon future. As part of the global move,
the marine field has been making effort to achieve a sustainable development. Ship …

Perceptions of feasibility in design spaces are susceptible to change if new and conflicting
information becomes available later. Design space reduction decisions made in set-based …

Path selection is defined as the order in which design activities are chosen to be performed,
and it plays a critical role in determining a project's need for rework as well as the …
