An integrated methodology for knowledge and design acquisition

The authors document the creation, development, application, and evaluation of an advanced knowledge and design acquisition methodology. The methodology acts to acquire and represent user requirements along three separate yet integrated perspectives: (1) structural/functional, (2) experiential/conceptual, and (3) intuitive/perceptual. The authors discuss three specific tools designed to capture these perceptives: IDEF-O (integrated computer-aided manufacturing definition) modeling, concept mapping, and design storyboarding.<
