Dear Terry, Thanks for your help. I'm trying to use Design Rationale to
represent designer's thinking process and develop design support tool. I've
read a few related literature. I found argumentation-based design rationale
was very popular. This research takes designer's thinking process as an
argumentation process, however, I don't think every designer thinks as the
style of argumentation. I guess there should be several other styles, but
I'm not quite sure.
