Explanation in Mixed-initiative Design Systems
註釋Mixed-initiative computer-aided design requires that the designer and the design system alternately take responsibility for elaborating a solution to a given set of requirements. For this to be possible, the system must be able to explain its actions to the user. This paper considers the problem of explaining the system's calculations. It discusses the requirements for a useful explanation facility, with examples from architectural and engineering design. The paper then describes a design system based on a constraint logic programming language, showing whether the constraint network and truth maintenance system embedded in the language naturally support explanations of the kind required.
