A computational framework for concept formation for a situated design agent

摘要

This paper takes the approach that designing is situated and that concepts are formed as a consequence of the situatedness of designing. The paper presents a framework for concept formation that draws on a structure of a design agent that includes sensors, perceptors and conceptors that interact with each other and the external and internal environment of the agent to produce the situation that is a contingent basis for the formation and use of concepts.
