A title in the "Engineering Research Series"Constraint-Aided Conceptual Design is concerned with thatphase of product development during which the designer takes aspecification for the product and generates many broad solutions toachieve the end result. This valuable book offers a computationalreasoning solution based on the notion of constraint filtering asthe basis of an interactive design support tool to assist a humandesigner working in the conceptual phase of design. Using thisinteractive design support tool, the designer can be assistedin developing models of proposed schemes which satisfy thevarious constraints that are imposed on the design.
