Abstract

Becoming of any system with software should be implemented especially carefully in a conceptual space (CS) where designers create the conceptual states of the system in parallel with its surrounding. In such work, they must build as useful conceptual models so regularities of the project space and its language, the controlled use of which is strictly obligatory. Thus, at the early stage of designing the system, the effectiveness and quality of work essentially depend on the form in which designers objectify the corresponding CS. This paper deals with the use of question-answer nets for objectifying the CS. In such conditions, providing the consistency between current states of the project and CS facilitate increasing the success of designing.
