Description

'HOW TO' OF ISSUE-BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS (I.B.I.S.)

Guest Editor: Donald P. Grant, Ph.D. Professor of Architecture and Environmental Design

This issue is the third in a series of issues on the "how to" of various design methods. These "how to" issues of DESIGN METHODS AND THEORIES are intended for use as self-instructional manuals for practicing designers and for use as texts by teachers of design methods courses.

The first issue in this "how to" series was Volume 10 Number 4, October-December 1976, and included articles on decision-making with multiple objectives.

The second issue in this "how to" series was Volume 11 Number 3, July-September 1977, and included articles on how to construct and use morphological boxes and morphological trees.

This issue on the IBIS is being published earlier than was intended; it was not my intent as editor (and author) to run two issues of my own work back-to-back, as I am in fact doing with this and the previous issue. However, the material prepared for Volume 11 Number 4 was checked and withdrawn for further work on the eve of printing, and this material, being ready for publication already, was substituted at the last minute in order to begin the process of catching up to our publishing schedule. This issue will be followed in quick succession by Volume 12 Number 1 and Volume 12 Number 2; indeed, one or both of these issues may have reached our subscribers before this issue. It is our firm resolve to maintain our publishing schedule in the future.
