"Stahovich, AI in Design."

T.F. Stahovich, Artificial intelligence for Design. In: Formal
Engineering Design Synthesis, (eds.) E.K. Antonsson & J. Cagan,
Cambridge University Press, 2001, pp. 228-269  


This chapter is another good survey of the field of AI in Design, with
some bias towards the author's work, and towards Qualitative
Reasoning.

Once again it isn't going to be easy, as there's a lot of new
information to try to absorb. At least get the basics and understand
the types of AI in Design research he introduces.
