....(usually during initial requirements acquisition) to more structured semi formal representations and formal representations. The interleaving of the process of requirements engineering and the process of design is emphasised in current research in the area of AI Design (e.g. 16] [17]) in which it is put forward that realistic design processes include both the manipulation of requirement specifications and the manipulation of design object specifications, resulting in a detailed description of a design object and a good understanding of the requirements. This perspective on ....
....of the structure of a system (or task or problem solving method) and its (behavioural) properties is not made. For example, in the AI and Design community a specification of the structure of a design object is often distinguished from a specification of function or behaviour; e.g. 16] [17]. In recent research in knowledge engineering, identification and formalisation of properties of knowledge intensive systems is addressed, usually in the context of verification or competence assessment [2] 9] 14] 15] Such properties can be used as a basis for requirement specifications. In ....

....can design a new drilling rig for its needs in mines, or design a bridge on the surface of Mars. The Mars designer changes its environment on Mars to have the functionality of transporting a vehicle. Design is an ubiquitous task which is actively modeled by both engineers and the AI scientists [Gero and Sudweeks 1998]. Design task, conceived as a problem solving task, can be defined as achieving a mapping from the space of specifications of an artefact to the space of devices or components, typically conducted by means of a search or exploration in the space of possible subassemblies of components ....
....[Pierce and Kuipers 1997] Their work has been an inspiration for our work and we use a multi level organisation that uses different semantic primitives for design. The AI in Design community has been pursuing a task decomposition in terms of conceptual design, detailed design and implementation [Gero and Sudweeks 1998]. In our work, we have tried to redefine the design task that uses autonomous learning. 6. Discussion 13 Design by Autonomous Learning In our methodology, the agent starts with no internal search space. It explores the external environment and creates an internal search space. It uses its ....
