A WordNet-Based Parameter Configuration Assistance Technology in Simulation Application

Abstract

The parameter configuration is frequent and necessary in the simulation application development. During the parameter configuration, the candidate parameters are numerous and of various types, selecting the correct candidate parameter by hand is of heavy workload and error-prone, thus hampering the progress of the simulation application development. Aiming at this problem, this paper puts forward a Word Net-based parameter configuration assistance technology, which calculates the similarity of the target parameter and candidate parameters based on Word Net one by one, from three aspects: parameter name, parameter type and parameter description. And then rank the candidate parameters in a descending order according to the similarity value, providing the users for easier selection. The test result shows that this method can effectively avoid frequent selection, thus improving the efficiency of parameters configuration.
