Nonlinear optimization (NLP) techniques often are used to aid in the            decisions that must be made as a design progresses.  Once the critical          variables in a design have been specified, optimization can be used to          find the best values for parameters of the design.  To use nonlinear            programming, the designer must often become well-versed in recognizing          why a particular technique is not working and in selecting an                   appropriate alternative.  This research is to develop an expert system          using nonlinear programming techniques.  This system will be based on           knowledge acquired from designers-analysts and from the numerical               calculations of the optimization programs.  The expert system will              operate at several levels--using rules that apply to the entire design          space, that apply only under special circumstances, or only in one              instance.  The availability of such an expert system would free a               designer from much of the tedium and frustration of working with                optimization programs.
