Empowering designers with integrated design environments

摘要: Designers deal with ill-defined and wicked problems characterized by fluctuating conflicting requirements. Traditional design methodologies based on the separation between problem setting (analysis) solving (synthesis) are inadequate to solve these problems. These types of require a cooperative problem-solving approach empowering designers integrated, domain-oriented, knowledge-based environments. In this paper, we describe motivation for introduce an architecture such We focus integration specification, construction, catalog prestored objects in those environments illustration how integrated empower human designers. The system component described detail (called CATALOGEXPLORER) assists locating examples that relevant task at hand as partially articulated current specification thereby relieving users forming queries retrieval.
