“…The CAUD plug-in tool with its above-explained capabilities coincide with the following five functional requirements of an ideal knowledge-based design support system [40]: (1) support and visualize the evolution of design development, (2) set up a creative support environment, (3) capable of knowledge management functions, (4) support a collaborative work and (5) conduct a design process with analysis, synthesis and evaluation operations.…”

Cataloged from PDF version of article.An effective and efficient knowledge support system is crucial for universal design process, as it has become a major design issue in the last decade with the growth of the elderly population and disabled people. There are a limited number of CAD investigations on the nature of knowledge processing that supports the cognitive activities of universal design process. Therefore, this paper proposes an ontology-based computer-assisted universal design (CAUD) plug-in tool that supports designers in developing satisfactory universal design solutions in the conceptual design phase. The required knowledge processing and representation of the developed tool is motivated by the ontological language. It is based on the multiple divergence-convergence cognitive strategies and cognitive needs of designers in the analysis/synthesis/evaluation operations. The CAUD plug-in tool is the first attempt to interface the universal design knowledge ontologically and respond to the requirements of conceptual design phase. According to the user acceptance study, the tool is assessed as useful, understandable, efficient, supportive and satisfactory

“…Decision support systems are computer-based information systems which are able to help decision makers to solve decision-problems, using data and models, which can be based on knowledge [37]. Since the training simulators based on VR are capable of generating large volumes of data, it is interesting to design a knowledge modeling methodology based on numerical approach to extract from large data sets, the expert's knowledge, allowing the design of a specific DSS.…”
