An `AI in Design' View of Design
General Description

Domain

What is the application domain of the design system?

e.g., electrical engineering (circuit design, computer configuration), mechanical engineering (air cylinders, copiers, elevators), civil engineering, etc.

Discussion. AI in Design researchers have studied a variety of domains and problems, including the design or configuration of:

Air cylinders

[Brown & Chandrasekaran 1989],

Copiers

[Mittal & Araya 1992],

Heat sinks

[Orelup et al. 1988],

Experiments
