Identifying design requirements using integrated analysis structures

The authors present some of the analytical and design foundations for an integrated analysis structure for knowledge acquisition and design Concept maps, IDEF (integrated computer-aided manufacturing definition), and storyboards are combined into an integrated structure for knowledge representation, called cognitive maps, and a hypermedia-based analytical framework is established using graphical spreadsheets. The authors describe the preliminary results of a project to define this hypermedia environment and integrated software.<
