Abstract
The current focus on the internet and the world wide web masks some other underlying changes, based on current research, which are likely to occur in our use of computers as design aids. This paper draws on current research to present two possible directions for computer-based design aids. Models of design processes based on analogies with natural evolution are providing a fruitful area for ideas. Concepts from genetic engineering are producing results which indicate that there are useful alternate design processes to those modeled on human design processes. Computer-based design aids have assumed that designing occurs independently of the context in which it occurs. Research into "situated" learning is showing that it is possible to develop design aids that learn. The consequence of this is that the tools become more useful over time. This paper examines some associated representation issues.
