[en] The design of a mechatronics system is considered
one of the hardest challenges in industry. This is mainly due to the
multidisciplinary nature of the design process that requires the
knowledge integration of the participating disciplines. Previously,
we have proposed SysDICE a framework that is capable of:
(1) modeling the multidisciplinary information of mechatronics
systems using SysML and (2) adopting a nonparametric
technique for evaluating such a SysML model. In SysDICE
the optimization that led to the determination of the best
alternative combinations for satisfying the requirements was
time-costly and discarded prohibited combinations. This paper
contributes by: (1) proposing an effective method for restricting
the set of possible alternative combinations and (2) employing a
swarm intelligence based optimization scheme which significantly
reduces the computational cost of SysDICE.
