Abstract

Basic ideas and requirements can be outlined by a design through ambiguous terms in order to define a desirable scene. Declarative modeling approach receives a rudimentary description and produces a set of scenes that are close to designer view. The reverse declarative modeling paradigm supports the designer to distinguish a set of scenes, accommodate further the pre-selected scenes to his needs, and produces a new enriched declarative description which initiates a new forward declarative design cycle for new promising scenes. The aim of the present work is to enhance the communication between the designer and machine, in such a way to increase the designer understanding and perception, by structuring a description in textual mode, reflecting all necessary semantic and geometric information, whenever the designer alters the pre-selected scenes.
