Decision-based design, where the engineer makes decisions                  associated with the design of an artifact, consists of four                     phases, namely, partitioning, planning, solution, and                           post-solution analyses.                                                              The principal investigator will develop the capability                     for partitioning and planning in original, adaptive and                         variant design.  To accomplish this he will develop two                         computer programs, namely, partitioner (an expert system) and                   planner (a hybrid computer program).  In order to validate                      this approach, he plans to develop three cases, namely, design                  of a novel mechanism (original design), design of a solar                       powered irrigation system (adaptive design), and design of                      pressure vessels using composite materials (variant design).                    This work will contribute to two aspects of the knowledge                       needed in design, namely, knowledge about design and knowledge                  for design.
