The Manual of Style (abbreviated as DCMoS, DCMOS or MoS) is the style manual for all Design Computation articles. This primary page of the guideline covers certain topics (e.g. punctuation) in detail and summarizes the key points of other topics. The detail pages, which are cross-referenced here and linked by this page's menu, provide specific guidance on those topics. If any contradiction arises, this page has precedence over all detail pages of the guideline.

Categorizing Pages

Design Computation wiki generates a page collating all categorizations applied in the database.

History Content Pages

History and theory pages uses similar style to Wikipedia but are somehow shorter and focus only on computational design taxonomies, cultures and ontologies.

Methods and Application Pages

Design Computation Application pages refer to material and methods shared by contributors for the resolution of design issues. This is often associated to live projects in the industry.

Tutorial Pages

Tutorial pages contains a Title, with the abstract (no heading) following, the Principleexplaining in detail the underpinning mathematical rationale of the principle being applied, the Steps explaining different codes and finally, whenever possible the Download for tutorial files.
