Various kinds of knowledge required for redesign problem solving are identified, and a scheme for represen ting them is described . In this scheme, the functions of the device and its structural components are represented explicitly, and causal and anticipatory knowledge about its design is organized around these functions. This functional representation lanauaae0 0 also provides primitives for representing and accessing knowledge of domain principles such as Physics laws. The use of functional representation of designs in redesign problem solvina is illustrat ed for the redesign of the reaction wh 0 eel assembly aboard the Hubble space telescope.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/222","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/0222.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/222.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/bibtex/222","volume":{"slug":"1989","title":"Proceedings of the Eleventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1989","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/","year":1989,"location":"Detroit, Michigan, USA","dates":"August 20-25 1989","editors":"N.
