Abstract
Design is, perhaps, the toughest problem solving activity that engineers perform. Design can be viewed as (Mostow, 1985) constructing an artifact or structure that:
-
1.
satisfies a given functional specification,
-
2.
conforms to the limitations of the resources, and
-
3.
satisfies implicit and explicit design criteria on the form of the artifact.
