An Interior Layout Support System with Interactive Evolutionary Computation Using Evaluation Agents

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an interior layout support system using interactive evolutionary computation. The conventional system is only concerned with layout of a room, and is not concerned with a usability of layouts.In the proposed system, layouts are evaluated using newly proposed evaluation agents, which behave as virtual residents.As a result, a usefulness value can be calculated as an estimated usability for each layout.Results of experiments show that the layouts that meet the user's demand are obtained.
