Abstract: The paper presents design as an example of ill-structured problems. Properties of ill-structured problems are discussed. French's model of design processes is analysed. The role of domain knowledge as a means for structuring the problem space is explained. Design process can be viewed as a sequence of problem re-representations gradually reducing problem indeterminacy. The results are demonstrated on pilot applications developed as a part of the Clockwork project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
