Knowledge-based collaborative decision making system for product design

In this paper, based on the analysis of, decision making process, the knowledge in product design is identified. A knowledge-based collaborative decision making system for product design is constructed. The problem solving process of the system is illustrated by hierarchical task analysis method. The support of the system to knowlcdge access and utilization in product design is analyzed. Factors influencing the system are analyzed and a mcthodology on performance measurement is su ggcsted.
