....of the designer such as why a component exists there and which causal relations are intended . Functionality of artifacts represents a part of such designers intention so called design rationale (DR) 1,2] Thus, a lot of research has been carried out on functional representation of artifacts [3 8]. Although there is no consensus on definition of functionality of artifacts, most functional models represent intended goals or roles of the behavior and then they are dependent on the context of the components in contrast with behavioral models independent of context. A functional structure of ....

....Models of Artifacts This section overviews our approach for functional models of artifacts and framework of them as summarized as shown in Figure 1. This framework is an extended one of that of our functional modeling language FBRL (abbreviation of a Function and Behavior Representation Language) [8]. There are three axes. The horizontal one represents objective teleological interpretation, that is, from behavioral level (including structure) to functional level. In this axis, the model at the functional level consists of two layers; the base function layer and the metafunction layer. The ....

....as well as to utilize it in product conceptualization. Umeda, Y. and Tomiyama, T. 1997) explain how functional reasoning adds functional concepts to the model of an artifact and specifies the functionality of the artifact. An explicit functional model can be used to reason out the behavior. Sasajima, M. at al. 1995) developed a function and behavior representation language that represents concepts at various levels of abstraction and maps behavior of a component to a term which represents its function. Some research papers reported about the use of physical features. Physical features have been introduced ....

....as role. The current paper synthesizes both points of view. There has been a substantial amount of recent research on representing function. We have reviewed them in [4] The notion of function as effect, one of the meanings discussed in the current paper, is close to the ideas contained in [12] [13] and [14] All these authors, in their discussion on function, focus their attention on what a device does in the external world. What we add here, as we do to the FR work, is precision in definitions by exploiting a simple ontological framework. The ontology that we have used for modeling the ....

....model theory (AIM D) of which the current work is a part. In addition, Lind s approach does not account for the inherent coupling between function and the object(s) upon which the function acts. Keuneke 1991] classified functions into four types: to make, to control, to maintain and to prevent. [Sasajima et al. 1995] uses the same form but add a new to enable type. Though substantially different from others, this approach, like Lind s, still does not recognize the coupling between functions and objects. Furthermore, due to their relatively abstract nature, it is difficult to use induction to argue that the ....

Among the many representations of function the following are outstanding for engineering design work: function as input output (Pahl Beitz 1988, Sturges(Jr. O Shaughnessy Reed 1993, Sturges, O Shaughnessy Kilani 1996, Sasajima, Kitamura, Ikeda Mizoguchi 1995), function sharing (Ulrich Seering 1988) value engineering (Miles 1972) influence diagrams representations (Sycara Navinchandra 1989, Sycara Navinchandra 1992) bond graphs (Karnopp Rosenberg 1975, Finger Rinderle 1989, Bracewell, Chaplin, Langdon, Li, Oh, Sharpe Yan 1996) ....

....et al. 1993; Lee 1997) A lot of research has been carried out on functional representation of artifacts. In literature, function of an entity (a component or a system) is defined as its intended behavior (Umeda et al. 1990; Lind, 1994) interpretation of its behavior under a goal (Sasajima et al. 1995), a kind of hierarchical abstraction (Sembugamoorthy and Chandrasekaran, 1986; Vescovi et al. 1993) or effects to the environment of the entity (Chandrasekaran and Josephson, 1996) Anyway, a function of an entity represents a kind of abstraction of changes in objects associated with the entity. ....

....the rest and classify the former as types of a base function and the latter as types of a meta function. This paper proposes nine types of meta function, aiming at capturing collaboration among function. We have extended a representation language of behavior and functions of components named FBRL (Sasajima et al. 1995) in order to cope with meta functions. Such types of meta functions form part of an ontology of functional concepts (Kitamura and Mizoguchi, 1998) which provides a rich and comprehensive vocabulary for functional representation. An ontology is defined as an explicit specification of ....
