This project is concerned with problems inherent in the informal specification of design. Its task is to develop a domain independent, generic knowledge-based requirement elicitation tool for design, called DDSC (Dynamic Design Specification with Chunking). Capturing design requirements is usually the task of knowledge engineers and is often done by post hoc knowledge acquisition, which in general is inadequate and difficult. In this approach however, design specification is a dynamic process evolving interactively. The elicitation process is based on the structure of human cognition through the use of recognized cognitive categories. DDSC takes as input an initial, informal requirement specification for a design object, as well as an extended generic ontology of the design process, and generates a complete, unambiguous, consistent, and implementable requirement specification of the desired design object. It does so by ewalkingn the Designer and the User Agents through the design process. During this ewalk-through,n requirements are chunked down with the help of Chunking Agents into implementable bits. DDSC is a participatory design tool which differs from any existing generic tool. Its application will greatly contribute to minimizing the huge gap which exists between informal specification and design implementation.

该项目涉及非正式设计规范中固有的问题。其任务是开发一种独立于领域的、基于通用知识的需求启发设计工具，称为 DDSC（带有分块的动态设计规范）。捕获设计需求通常是知识工程师的任务，并且通常是通过事后知识获取来完成的，这通常是不充分且困难的。然而，在这种方法中，设计规范是一个交互式发展的动态过程。启发过程基于人类认知结构，通过使用公认的认知类别。 DDSC 将设计对象的初始、非正式需求规范以及设计过程的扩展通用本体作为输入，并生成所需设计对象的完整、明确、一致且可实现的需求规范。它通过引导设计者和用户代理完成设计过程来实现这一点。在此演练过程中，在分块代理的帮助下，需求被分解为可实现的部分。 DDSC 是一种参与式设计工具，不同于任何现有的通用工具。它的应用将极大地有助于缩小非正式规范和设计实现之间存在的巨大差距。
