Interesting idea. sounds like a reasoning tool. I'd imagine that you'd
have a routing algorithm that would trace from a selected node to it's
logical conclusion(s). two other operators you'd need to add though are
<== and <==> as a design idea could imply a feature (bug?) by it's
presents and a feature may imply a design idea that implies that feature.
For example,
F1 ==> D1
<==>
F2 ==> D2
To include feature F1 you imply D1 which implies the presents of feature
F2 and design idea D2. but having feature F2 while it imples design idea
D1 and D2 does not imply the presents of F1.
Back to the routing; You could conceviably select a starting point which
would then be traced to one or more logical conclusions. These conclusions
may not be whole as that reasoning in the automated system breaks down
when there are no explicit connection between nodes. At this stage the
human user steps back in to carry out the fuzzy logic jump that is needed
to find a new starting point for the router to take over again. In this
manner you could connect islands of design patterns to design a system
without actually having to implement it. Think of it as a CAD/CAM
simulator for software engineering.
Jeff.
