The hypothetical reasoning, which is one of non-monotonic reasoning schemes, is a method for handling incomplete knowledge in knowledge base. It also provides us a practical framework for building diagnosis and design systems. In this paper, we present a hypothetical reasoning system with constraint handling mechanism which is indispensable for pruning search space in design problems. Then, we describe a circuit-block design system constructed on this framework. Although the concept of applying this reasoning system to design problems has been reported previously, there has been no its practical application to design problem. In response to the specification of behavior and some constraints given to the system, our system can synthesize a circuit which satisfies the specification and constraints by combining function blocks given in advance as design components. This system differs from existing rule-based design expert systems, since the system builder of this system is only required to write down basic knowledge and doesn't need to write heuristic knowledge for guiding the inference process. Instead of using such heuristic knowledge,a constraint-guided inference process implemented in the hypothetical reasoning becomes the main power for synthesizing new design patterns. Thus the knowledge acquisition burden is greatly lessen and the scope of competence of the knowledge-base can be broaden by allowing incomplete knowledge in the knowledge-base. This paper shows how a practical design system can be effectively implemented using the framework of the hypothetical reasoning system.
