Evaluation and selection of the ship collaborative design resources based on AHP and genetic and simulated annealing algorithm

Abstract

The characteristics of the design resources in the ship collaborative design is described and the hierarchical model for the evaluation of the design resources is established. The comprehensive evaluation of the co-designers for the collaborative design resources has been done from different aspects using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and according to the evaluation results, the candidates are determined. Meanwhile, based on the principle of minimum cost, and starting fom the relations between the design tasks and the corresponding co-designers, the optimizing selection model of the collaborators is established and one novel genetic combined with simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to realize the optimization. It overcomes the defects of the genetic algorithm which may lead to the premature convergence and local optimization if used individually. Through the application of this method in the ship collaborative design system, it proves the feasibility and provides a quantitative method for the optimizing selection of the design resources.
