Description
Summary:The paper by Woodbury and Burrow is examined using four criteria: completeness, discrimination, alternative approaches, and combining exploration in different problem domains. Although the paper covers significant aspects of the search space literature it leaves out some relevant aspects of the cognitive approach. It fares much better in terms of discriminating important concepts and alternative approaches to the modeling of the design search space. The structure–function–behavior model is suggested as an analogy for the central parameters of the search space paradigm. The Woodbury and Burrow paper reveals more than what has been accomplished up to now in the design search space area, but its task still remains incomplete.
