Computational Models of Design Processes

This paper attempts three major tasks. The first is to give an overview of computational models of design processes. This provides a context for the second major task, to provide a descriptive review of the research on computational models of design being sponsored by the NSF Design Theory and Methodology Program. The third is to provide a critique of the Program and of the work being sponsored.
