Supportability-Based Design Rationale

Abstract How can we benefit from support people’s experience in the design process, and how can we represent design rationale (DR) in order for it to be useful to a variety of end-users? This paper proposes a knowledge representation suitable for the rationalization of operational cognitive artifacts at design time. It enables the construction of cognitive functions that lead to the concept of software agents and active documents.
