The Role of Knowledge in Design Problems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4653))

Abstract

The paper presents design as an example of ill-structured problems. Properties of ill-structured problems are discussed. French’s model of design processes is analysed. The role of domain knowledge as a means for structuring the problem space is explained. Design process can be viewed as a sequence of problem re-representations gradually reducing problem indeterminacy. The results are demonstrated on pilot applications developed as a part of the Clockwork project.
