Abstract
This paper presents ODESSY, a knowledge-based system
for the integrated preliminary design of reinforced concrete
multistorey office buildings. ODESSY is based on a model
of the design process called SCM (Synthesis-Criticism-Modification), that has been arrived at based on a task
analysis of the building design process. Following a brief
delineation of the task analysis that was performed and the
process model that was subsequently proposed, the salient
features of ODESSY are presented. The paper concludes
that ODESSY addresses the issues identified as central to
integrated preliminary design of buildings.
