Description

OPEN ISSUE
In this open issue we have papers representative of design viewed at several levels, from the very specific and narrowly defined level represented in Chyutin's paper to the broad, theoretical scope of Prost's. Specific technical issues within the area of decision making are represented in Rusin and in the exchange between Wise and Grant. In one sense several of the articles in this issue represent follow-up's on earlier "how to do it" issues of the journal, specifically those dealing with Design by Objectives (Vol.10 No.4) and the Morphological Approach (Vol.11 No.3).

One very desirable thing can be seen in this issue which has been sadly lacking during most of the journal's history, and that is critical comment on previous articles. Wise's comment and Grant's response will hopefully initiate a continuing activity of critique and comment on the material published in the journal.
