项目摘要

Design is a knowledge-intensive and experience-intensive task. For the most part designers create new designs by adapting a combining previous designs. While much research in the past few years has gone into investigating the processes involved in routine design, almost none has addressed issues related to creative or non-routine design. We propose to investigate the processes involved in creative design and to build experimental systems that do creative design in the domains of meal planning, architecture (office design), and mechanical design. This investigation will capitalize on previous work in design, and will look at the ways in which routine problem solving processes can be used or extended to create novel solutions to problems. It will also extend previous work on case-based reasoning, looking at how previous cases can be used in novel ways. The work will concentrate in four areas: design specification restructuring, exploration of design alternatives, merging of several design alternatives, and non-routine adaptation. The first two are necessary for what engineers call conceptual design, a design stage in which the design specification itself is defined. The last two look at the ways fixes or patches to partial designs can be done in novel ways. An understanding of design processes will enable the creation of the right kinds of design tools to help designers with their tasks and will help to build the kinds of tools and to develop the kinds of curricula that can best be used to train designers of the future.

设计是一项知识密集且经验丰富的任务。在大多数情况下，设计师通过调整以前的设计来创建新设计。尽管在过去几年中，许多研究都在研究常规设计中涉及的过程中，但几乎没有一个问题解决了与创意或非应用程序设计有关的问题。我们建议调查创意设计中涉及的过程，并构建实验系统，以在餐食计划，建筑（办公设计）和机械设计领域进行创意设计。这项调查将利用以前的设计工作，并将研究常规问题解决过程的方式或扩展以为问题创建新颖的解决方案。它还将扩展以前的基于案例推理的工作，研究如何以新颖的方式使用以前的案例。这项工作将集中在四个领域：设计规范重组，设计替代方案的探索，几种设计替代方案合并以及非调整适应。对于工程师所说的概念设计是必需的，这是设计规范本身的设计阶段。最后两个查看了可以通过新颖的方式完成对部分设计的修复或补丁的方式。对设计过程的理解将使创建正确的设计工具，以帮助设计师完成任务，并有助于构建各种工具，并开发最能用于培训未来设计师的课程。
