Abstract :
Two approaches, expressed in terms of mappings between design and computation, are explored with the intention of clarifying the relationship between the theories of design and computation. First, the relationship between models of the design process and computational search strategies is explored. Second, relationships between design knowledge and computational representation schemes are discussed. Finally, some thoughts on integrating these design models and knowledge representation schemes into computer systems that assist designers are discussed
