“…Design rationale systems integrated with commercial CAD system have been extensively reported [14,31,32,27,24,37,26,18]. In some of these systems, the integration was achieved by the combination of design rationale system with knowledge-based design decision support systems [31,27,37,26].…”

“…The Knowledge Based Design System-IBIS (KBDS-IBIS) [14] is the result of integrating a representation of design rationale (in the form of IBIS networks) to the design alternative history maintained by a design support system (KBDS). KBDS-IBIS has been used in chemical process plant design, and put forward some extensions to the structure of standard IBIS networks.…”

This paper provides a survey on recent research in the area of design rationale. The study of design rationale spans a number of diverse disciplines, touching on concepts from research communities in mechanical design, software engineering, artificial intelligence, civil engineering, computer-supported cooperative work, and human-factors and human-computer interaction research. We focus this survey on prototype design rationale systems for these application domains, and put forward several major criteria with which to describe and classify design rationale systems, including argumentation-based, descriptive, process-based approaches. Further, we attempt to abstract the place of systems and tools for design rationale capture and retrieval in the context of contemporary knowledge-based engineering and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. This survey is structured around classes of fundamentally different approaches, their representation schema, their capture methods and retrieval techniques. A number of recent design rationale systems, including JANUS, COMET, ADD. REMAP, HOS, PHIDIAS, DRIVE and IBIS are analysed. We conclude with an assessment of current state-of-the-art and a discussion of critical open research issues.

A case study showed the advantages of using a design support system during the design and retro®t of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The Manresa WWTP was chosen to demonstrate these advantages. While the records of the decision-making process used during the Manresa WWTP design were not available to the authors, its original design objectives and the resulting structure and values for its more important variables were. A simpli®ed but plausible design history focusing on the design decisions and not on the detailed modelling of the WWTP was generated with this information. Using such a design history it is possible (1) to evaluate automatically the compliance of alternative design proposals with respect to the design objectives; (2) to study the in¯uence of the weight of the arguments in the selection of the most adequate proposal; (3) to document the decision-making process; and (4) to assist the designer in the search of speci®c items within the historical records during the review of the current design or during the retro®t of the plant.
