  abstract: Design can be considered as a constraint satisfaction
  abstract: problem. The process of designing mechanisms, usually
  abstract: including conceptual and detail design stages, can be viewed
  abstract: as establishing and maintaining design constraints.
  abstract: Conventional computeraided design systems are effective for
  abstract: the later stage of detail design, but provide less support
  abstract: for conceptual design. An adequate and unified scheme for
  abstract: representing and satisfying constraints through different
  abstract: design stages is the most essential part of a truly effective
  abstract: design system. This dissertation presents such a scheme as
  abstract: the basic framework of a constraint-based design system. A
  abstract: constraint-based and object-oriented representation is
  abstract: proposed to represent geometric structures which allow
  abstract: incompletely specified geometric information. This
  abstract: representation defines all geometric information as
  abstract: constraint objects and maintains a constraint hierarchy and
  abstract: dependency hierarchies for the automated reasoning process.
  abstract: Constraint networks are generated by instantiation and
  abstract: unification of geometric constraints to represent geometric
  abstract: models. Geometric constraints are satisfied incrementally by
  abstract: a general reasoning scheme to create a new design when
  abstract: existing constraints are changed or new constraints are
  abstract: generated. The reasoning scheme is a combination of value
  abstract: propagation and constraint activation techniques for
  abstract: constraint satisfaction. The propagation process is
  abstract: performed through propagation methods along with sets of
  abstract: propagation rules. Each set of the propagation rules is
  abstract: defined for a particular class of constraints. Heuristic
  abstract: functions are introduced to improve the performance of the
  abstract: propagation process. An experimental 2D constraint-based
  abstract: design system is implemented based on the proposed reasoning
  abstract: framework. Various simple two-dimensional design examples
  abstract: are shown to demonstrate different functions of the design
  abstract: system. Although this dissertation focuses on the
  abstract: representation and automated reasoning of geometric
  abstract: constraints, a method for using the same framework to combine
  abstract: functional design with geometric design is also discussed.
