Design is believed to be one of the most interesting and challenging problem-solving activities ever facing artificial intelligence (AI) researchers. Knowledge-based systems using rule-based and model-based reasoning techniques have been applied to build design automation and/or design decision support systems. Although such systems have met with some success, difficulties have been encountered in... Read more

Biography

Mary Lou Maher, Pearl Pu

"This book contains...very accessible essays which will interest anyone with a concern for design, design problems, or how poorly structured problems can be approached."
Journal of the American Society for Information Science

"The work has multidisciplinary appeal. Library and information science students will appreciate the issues and alternatives for case representation and indexing, students of computer science will be interested in the design models and implementation algorithms, and both engineers and designers in other domains may find value in the ways these systems enable the creation of something new out of past knowledge and experience."
