Abstract: Computational critiquing mechanisms have been used to support designers in refining a partial design solution during the course of reflection-in-action. The paper argues that by being embedded in an integrated design environment, critiquing mechanisms can help designers refine not only a partial solution but also a partially articulated design problem, uncovering design intentions. This claim is supported with the presentation of transcripts from user studies with the KID (Knowing-in-Design) design environment for kitchen floor plan design. Results of the study indicate that the embedded critics in KID helped designers explicitly articulate previously tacit domain knowledge in response to critiquing (13 Refs.)

Abstract: Visual programming approaches are limited in their usefulness if they do not include a profile of their users that defines exactly who is attempting to solve what kind of problems using which tools and why. Without such a definition, visual programming approaches can end up as solutions in search of problems. Reconceptualizing — programming environments as layered behavior processors in the context of creating SimCity™-like interactive simulations — makes end-user programming more feasible. The layered approach serves the programming needs for a range of users, including casual computer end-users and professional programmers. The extension of the Agentsheets system with the Ristretto™ agent to Java bytecode compiler is used to illustrate how a behavior processor enables end-users to create their own Java applets that can be embedded into web pages.
