Abstract:
We are investigating the use of axiomatic design (AD) as a principled approach to the revision of guidelines. AD models guidelines in a modular and hierarchical manner and captures interactions be-tween modules. To test this approach we applied AD to encode segments of three guidelines and their revised versions. Guideline encodings for the original versions were modified to incorporate changes made in the revised documents. The results indicate that AD is a promising approach for guideline modeling.
