Description
Formal design methods provide the basis for the non-graphical use of computer-aided design. This volume represents the cutting edge of international research in the area, where artificial intelligence and cognitive science paradigms are providing a renewed impetus for exploration and development. The sixteen chapters are grouped into five parts: formal representations in design; shape grammars in design; design grammars; formalised design processes; and exploration in design. The volume will provide a valuable source of information for all those connected with this field.
Table of Contents
Preface. Formal Representations in Design. YMIR: a sharable ontology for the formal representation of engineering-design knowledge (L.K. Alberts). Attribute models of design objects (E. Tyugu). Formal representation of meaning in architecture (OE. Akin). Discussion: What is a formal representation and what is it good for? (L.K. Alberts). Shape Grammars in Design. A tutorial introduction to grammatical programming (C. Carlson). Geometric design with boundary solid grammars (J. Heisserman, R. Woodbury). The use of post interpretation for grammar-based generative systems (S.-G. Shih, G. Schmitt). Discussion: Design space description formalisms (C. Carlson). Design Grammars.
