Abstract
Design at the early conceptual stages poses interesting, difficult and complex computational problems when it comes to building artificial intelligence or AI support systems. Design is constructive, in which the definition of objects evolve over time and re-use and re-design is standard. Information is a lot of the time incomplete and inconsistent. Such characteristics contribute to systems which are complex especially for supporting real design activities.
