Abstract

A computerized design system is employed for designing product specifications for a multitude of products. This computerized design system uses an input from a user to define a series of goals and from these goals to create a data structure which is extracted from the goals. This data structure is then topologically stored in a computer memory which is then used to create a mapping between requirement specifications and a conceptual design. An output is then provided which can be used as a final design specification.
