Design and reasoning with diagrams
Ewa Janina Grabska · Machine Graphics & Vision International Journal archive · 2003
In this paper a new framework for conceptual design based on diagrammatic reasoning is sketched. The approach considers a dynamic context for design. The main phases of the design process are treated as different classes of situations in the appropriate worlds and as such they belong to their own classifications domains. The notion of classification allows one to model constraints that govern the construction diagrams to be drawn or generated.
