Reminding and Context in Design

A Model Inspired by Language

  • Chapter
Book cover Artificial Intelligence in Design ’00

Abstract

This paper draws an analogy between the use of context in understanding natural language and the use of context in design. As a result, design context is identified as historically relevant portions of design episodes rather than attempted complete descriptions. This distinction leads to a model for reminding designers of implicit information.
