Abstract

Issue-Based Information System (IBIS) is an information representation system based on a structured database. It provides a hierarchically linked web structure to manage design related information around issues. In this paper, we explore the enhancement of IBIS with Fuzzy Reasoning System (FRS). The FRS details the links among issues to further objectify the logic of decision making and issue resolving. The combined system provides a general framework to represent design information and also its logic of reasoning and decision making. Such a system stimulates and assists rationalized design analysis and scrutinized decision making. It is particularly helpful in clarifying design related issues, requirements and evaluation. With its computational dynamic links, the FRS provides a foundation to machine assisted design and reasoning. We reexamine an architectural design experiment and represent the knowledge and reasoning of the architects with the system to demonstrate the system's potential use.
