This paper introduces the principles of situated design computing. Situated design computing expands the concept of computing from being the encoding of objective knowledge that is fixed by the programmers of the system to include first-person knowledge acquired while the programs are being used. This first-person knowledge forms the basis of the system's experience which is then made available as the system is used further. The four principles of situatedness are presented along with the basic concept of the mechanism by which such systems operate: constructive memory.
