Abstract

Conceptual Analysis and Design (mCAD) is an information and cognitive technology for knowledge and systems engineering. A conceptual system for a complex knowledge domain contains thousands of linked concepts, necessary in the engineering and management of big and complex systems. Naturally evolved conceptual systems usually contain conceptual gaps and have multiple logical fallacies. mCAD addresses these issues by axiomatic deduction of concepts. This article is the product of a literature review of books on mCAD and is enriched with visualisations. This article is a concise overview of Conceptual Analysis and Design, covering its foundations, technological aspects, and notable applications.
