This article describes OUZO, a design system for chemical separation t
hat supports engineering design from physical principles. The main ide
a behind OUZO is the orchestration of the interaction between physical
and design knowledge. The program supports and controls the applicati
on of a set of representations and reasoning methods, thereby allowing
different types of physical and design knowledge to interact effectiv
ely with each other. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve
