以前研究的主要目的是描述，使用 基于约束的规划战略， 建筑设计问题。 本项目旨在研究 设计师行为的合理性，尤其是 重组设计问题。 研究将在 五个步骤。 第一，空间问题结构模型 将使用优化来制定规划。 克服 空间规划中固有的问题，如价值观的连续性 和问题空间的大小，动态规划技术将 被剥削 利用第一步建立的模型， 将确定给定问题结构的解决路径。 受试者的协议数据和称为HeGeL的模拟程序，来自 以前的研究，将被用来显示因素，解释 受试者的行为，无论是最优的，帕累托最优的或非- 最佳 将开发新版本的HeGeL，HeGeL-II 结合了以前开发的动态编程能力。 最优性、帕累托最优性或其他形式的“合理性” 将比较受试者使用的路径和解决方案 对比初始建模步骤中获得的结果，使用HeGeL- 二. 最后，有限理性技术和策略， 空间规划，可以集成到设计师的过程中 将被提议。

The primary aim of previous research has been to describe, using a constraint based planning strategy, the restructuring of architectural design problems. The present project aims to study the rationality of designer' behavior in structuring and especially restructuring design problems. The research will be performed in five steps. First, a model of problem structuring in space planning will be developed using optimization. To overcome problems inherent in space planning, such as, continuity of values and size of problem space, dynamic programming techniques will be exploited. Using model developed in the first step, optimal solution paths for the given problem structures will be determined. Protocol data of subjects and simulation program called HeGeL, from previous research, will be used to show factors that explain subjects' behavior, whether it be optimal, pareto optimal or non- optimal. A new version of HeGeL, HeGeL-II will be developed incorporating dynamic programming capabilities developed earlier. The optimality, Pareto optimality or other forms of "rationality" in the paths and solutions used by subjects will be compared against results obtained in the initial modeling step, using HeGeL- II. Finally, bounded rationality techniques and strategies for space planning which can be integrated into the designers' process will be proposed.
