Discovery in Design: People-Centred Computational Environments
The objective of the ‘Discovery in Design: People-Centred Computational Issues’ cluster was to identify primary research aspects concerning the development of people-centred computational design environments that engender concept and knowledge discovery across diverse disciplines and domains. Such systems would represent a new approach to the establishment of generic computational support for conceptual design processes.
Current computer-aided design and decision support tools support the later, well defined stages of design where a product or objective is physical, tangible, and comprehensible. However, more abstract concept formulation and development is poorly supported, especially where uncertainty is an inherent characteristic. Furthermore, computer-aided design and decision-support tends to be domain specific. There is little or no exploitation of cross-domain experience. Research and development agendas that have the potential to redress both these imbalances are required.
