Tony Mileman's PhD Research Page


I was awarded my PhD in 2002 from Greenwich University (London, UK) in the Applied Artificial Intelligence Group (AI Group), supervised by Professor Brian Knight (Brian Knight) . The research I conducted applied case-based reasoning (CBR) for the retrieval of experiential knowledge stored in a case library of previously designed castings in the foundry industry.

You are welcome to check out my work in more detail below:
 


Title of PhD: An Investigation of the Feasibility of a CBR Approach to the Design of Sand Castings in the Foundry Industry
 

*** Read PhD Abstract
 

*** Download my thesis:

For ease of downloading, the thesis has been split into 4 parts . First of all, download to a directory the following 4 zipped files:

Part1
Part2
Part3
Part4

Then download this zipped batchfile: PhDThesisBatch

Again, make sure the zipped batchfile is in the same directory. Now, unzip the files. When the batchfile (PhDThesis.bat) is executed, it will join the individual parts (1 to 4), thus creating the complete PhD thesis (in PDF format) which you can then read.
