Abstract
Assume that we have clarified and compiled the specific domain knowledge and problem structure required to perform a certain task of variant design. This knowledge, i.e. understanding of information and methods to be used, must then be transformed into a format that can be coded as a computer program. This is not primarily a matter of conversion to specific language syntax, but rather a matter of being able to express subtle real world knowledge in the standardised formats that the computer will accept.
