Specifications include preferences (e.g., “prefer lower cost to higher performance, all things being equal”), bounds on various resources (e.g., “the computer should have four PCI slots”), and other information to customize a configuration. Constraints typically arise from exogenous concerns, such as the available parts, the way parts can interact, and the manufacturing plant. article dblp:journals/aiedam/darrkm98 4 293-294 Special Issue: Configuration Design 1998 Year 12 Volume Title Computer science Tag Source Paper url Pages Number September Month Key Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing Journal Doi Bibtype Deborah L.
