ठA new process is de scribed that assists engineers in making complex decision s during the design process . The Interactive Design Selection Process (iDSP) allows designers to collect design information , compar e candidate designs , build use r preferences , and ultimately zero in on the best designs. In contrast to traditional black -box optimization approaches, the iDSP involves the designer in each and every step of the process. This involvement gives designers more confidence in the results a nd allows them to find design s that satisfy all stake -holders. A prototype of the iDSP was implemented by combining an advanced visualization tool with a genetic optimizer using a commercially available process integration environment. A Lunar exploration mission design problem was solved using the guided search technique augmented by design space visualization.
