title = "Design context knowledge based proactive support for component design",
abstract = "The research work described here establishes a new design support approach to product life-oriented design. The approach defines a broad concept of design context information. Having completed the function design, the approach supports the product design through background reasoning using the design context information. This reasoning mechanism can facilitate a designer to explore rapidly different design alternatives generated through function to its realisation (means) mapping. {"}Unfit{"} means can be identified using the design context information. The approach provides further support in making suggestions by relaxation as to how to avoid a solution candidate being identified as an {"}unfit{"} life-oriented design solution. The architecture and its implementation of a prototype KICAD system entitled FORESEE II is detailed in the paper. The concept of the approach and an illustrative use of the FORESEE II system through a case study are also described.",
