Resumen:
Any software design process can be seen as a
workflow of design tasks, in which the developer makes
different decisions regarding both functionality and qualityattribute
properties of the intended system. However, ensuring
the right compromises among design solutions is
always a problematic and error-prone activity for the developer.
Furthermore, he/she may get overwhelmed by the
diversity of design techniques and technologies nowadays
available. Along this line, we believe that it is possible to
provide a declarative representation of this knowledge, so
as to apply AI techniques when searching for solutions in
the design space. Specifically, mixed-initiative planning algorithms
are an interesting approach to automate some aspects
of that search. In this paper, we report on three successful
experiences with planning to assist the developer in
decision-making for architectural and object-oriented design
contexts. We also analyze the perspectives of a planning-based
approach in the development of software design tools.
