A Framework for Facility Modification.

Abstract

A generic model for advising the facility modification process we developed. Object-oriented representations of the existing facility configuration, the new function(s) that it has been asked to accommodate plus facility design and operational constraints were constructed using hierarchical semantic networks. A facility-function matching process was used to identify conflicts and their causes. Cost data were combined with alternative evaluation algorithms and a heuristic search process to assist the designer/decision maker in both constraint relaxation and the selection of least cost conflict resolution strategies. Geographic Information System technologies were used to manipulate, display and record data required for an example involving the modification of a U.S. Army direct fire training facility. Keywords: Army training facilities; Ranges(Facilities).
