Abstract: Configuration design spans many problem types that require varying types of knowledge and problem-solving methods. This article investigates the different types of knowledge that are active in configuration design and identifies some of the applicable problem-solving methods. The result is not a full theory of configuration design, but we make some steps in that direction. To clarify configuration design problem solving, the authors provide a useful classification of the field and discuss configuration task variants and some of the major knowledge categories involved.

A Survey of Design Rationale Systems: Approaches, Representation, Capture and Retrieval
TL;DR: This survey is structured around classes of fundamentally different approaches, their representation schema, their capture methods and retrieval techniques, and concludes with an assessment of current state-of-the-art and a discussion of critical open research issues.
Towards a general ontology of configuration
TL;DR: The main contributions of this work are in the detailed conceptualization of knowledge on product structures and in extending the resource concept with contexts for limiting the availability and use of resources.

Reusable Components for Knowledge Modelling
Enrico Motta
- 01 Jan 1999
TL;DR: An approach to the development of a library of problem solving components for knowledge modelling based on an epistemological modelling framework, the Task/Method/Domain/Application (TMDA) model, and on a principled methodology, which provides an integrated view of both library construction and application development by reuse.

Product configuration and inter-firm co-ordination: an innovative solution from a small manufacturing enterprise
Cipriano Forza,Fabrizio Salvador +1 more
TL;DR: The case evidences that product configuration software can be proactively used as a tool for improving inter-firm co-ordination and the company enjoyed significant benefits from the implementation of the software, especially in terms of delivery time and customer relationships.

Design problem solving: a task analysis
TL;DR: A task structure for design is proposed by analyzing a general class of methods that I call propose-critique-modify methods, which provides a framework in which a number of particular proposals for design problem solving as specific combinations of tasks, methods, and subtasks.

Towards a generic model of configuraton tasks
Sanjay Mittal,Felix Frayman +1 more
- 20 Aug 1989
TL;DR: A domain-independent model is presented based on two important assumptions: functional architecture and key component per function that limit the complexity of the general configuration task, determine the basic knowledge needed for solving a configurationtask, and enable more efficient problem solving methods.
The concept and implementation of skeletal plans
Peter Friedland,Yumi Iwasaki +1 more
TL;DR: A new method for automated planning, refinement of skeletal plans, has been developed for the problem of experiment design in the domain of molecular biology from a study of the problem-solving behavior of scientists which showed that design usually consisted of look-up of abstracted plans followed by hierarchical plan-step refinement.

Making compromises among antagonist constraints in a planner
TL;DR: A planner which operates by iteratively constraining a loosely constrained initial plan built from the model of the part to be machined, which makes use of a selective backtracking procedure which reasons about the weights attached to the applied constraints for deciding which compromise is ‘best’.
