Abstract
Formulating a design task as a computer solvable problem involves two major steps: choosing a representation for the artifact, and choosing a representation for the criteria that will be used to evaluate generated solutions. The formulation we use is based on the classic labeling problem [Waltz 75]. The labeling idea has been extended to suit the design domain by adding the notions of consistency [Nadel 85a] and optimization [Navinchandra 86a].
