Acquisition of teleological descriptions
D. Franke · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1992
Teleology descriptions capture the purpose of an entity, mechanism, or activity with which they are associated. These descriptions can be used in explanation, diagnosis, and design reuse. We describe a technique for acquiring teleological descriptions expressed in the teleology language TeD. Acquisition occurs during design by observing design modifications and design verification. We demonstrate the acquisition technique in an electronic circuit design.
