A generative concept design model based on parallel evolutionary strategy

In relation to the lack of design and innovative approach in conceptual design for the current prototype system, a parallel evolutionary strategy based on self-adaptive learning mechanism is developed to realize generative design. The 3-layer model named community-population-individual is proposed by this model. As the data structure for collaborations between subpopulations, the Blackboard model is introduced. And three learning operators are designed, through which combines the advantages of parallel evolutionary and genetic learning that improves the performance of traditional evolutionary strategy effectively. The application shows that this model can perfectly improve the rate and level of design innovation, stimulate creative inspiration for designers.
