Extract

We are interested in investigating the different types of knowledge and mechanisms that cause design problem-solving to become routine. We use the model of Routine Parametric Design incorporated in the language DSPL (Brown & Chandrasekaran, 1989), where both the parameters to be given values and the design knowledge needed are known in advance.
