	Gamasutra - Features - "The Anatomy of a Design Document, Part 1" [10.19.99]
		A design document is a bible from which the producer preaches the goal, through which the designers champion their ideas, and from which the artists and programmers get their instructions and express their expertise.
		Unfortunately, design documents are sometimes ignored or fall short of their purpose, failing the producers, designers, artists, or programmers in one way or another.
		The lead designer is the principle author of all the documentation with the exception of the technical specification, which is written by the senior programmer or technical director.

	Design document - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A design document is a description of a software product that a software designer writes in order to give a software development team an overall guidance of the architecture of the software project.
		A design document is practically required to coordinate a large team under a single vision.
		A design document needs to be stable reference, and outline all parts of the software and how they will work.

	Design Documents - Game Design Documents
		This design document is very precise and to the point.
		This design document is a incomplete transscript of the original Doom Design Bible.
		It is not an example of a good design document, but quite the opposite.

	Gamasutra - Features "Creating a Great Design Document" [09.12.97]
		The original designer may be an integral part of the team, but in many cases - especially in large companies - the designer ends up as a kind of outside consultant.
		Without question, the design document is where the original parent of the project exercises the most influence on how this little baby is going to grow up.
		The challenge is to create a design document that will allow your project to tolerate surprise adaptations without losing the integrity of its original direction and scope.

	Game design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A document which describes a game's design maybe used during development (often called a design document), although this is not the only way to design a game.
		Iterative design tends to be more suitable for core game mechnics (or gameplay) where the emergent properties of the design can be very hard to predict.
		Because of the demands of the market, designers are often required to design games based on licensed properties or IPs—some of which may place very stringent and difficult to negotiate constraints upon the design.

	A Software Design Specification Template
		The design document used for high-level design is a "living document" in that it gradually evolves to include low-level design details (although perhaps the "Detailed Design" section may not yet be appropriate at the high-level design phase).
		Frequently, one of the best ways to document a project's design is to keep a detailed project journal, log, or diary of issues as they are mulled over and bandied about and to record the decisions made (and the reasons why) in the journal.
		For the remaining sections of this document, it is conceivable (and perhaps even desirable) that one or more of the section topics are discussed in a separate design document within the project.

	Xalan-J 2.0 Design
		This document presents the basic design for Xalan-J 2.0, which is a refactoring and redesign of the Xalan-J 1.x processor.
		Please note that the diagrams in this design document are meant to be useful abstractions, and may not always be exact.
		An important part of the XPath design in both Xalan 1 and Xalan 2, is to enable database connections to be used as drivers directly to the XPath LocationPath handling.

	Writing a Design Document for Computer Science 51
		Writing design documents develops and hones your ability to think through a design and reduce the number of costly and unplanned changes to your software program.
		The design document is designed to get you to think about the details of each project in advance and to practice communicating succinctly about what you are doing.
		Design documents are due far before the problem set is due.

	Design Document Fundamentals -- Part 1
		Because there are just as many ways to produce a design document as there are ways to write a book, for the purposes of this article, I will take you through the format I've personally used.
		Also, before the actual design document drafting begins, you need to have had creative meetings and a pooling of all the best ideas, design notes, and diagrams that will make up the game play and look of the product.
		From the designer’s standpoint it becomes very useful in helping him or her see how all of the subjects in the design flow into the overall structure of the product design.

	Detailed Design Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Design Document (DD) is an EPRI requirement only for software with commercial potential outside of EPRI.
		Typically, the Design Document consists of tables and diagrams that translate the functional specification into data structures, data flows, and algorithms.
		The designer's goal is to develop a model that achieves the functional requirements while operating within key constraints, such as performance goals and hardware.

	Amazon.com: Dynamics in Document Design: Creating Text for Readers: Books: Karen A. Schriver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Document design is a relatively new field of study, so the comprehensive timeline of its development is a gold mine, especially since no author has attempted it before.
		And her research spans several decades, which is invaluable for tracking the evolution of document design.
		Later chapters presenting the results of various reader response studies are interesting enough, but surely we could move more quickly to the results and their relevance to document design without spending so much time with dry narration of the actual empirical testing.

		This is a description of the design principles that have been used to design fish.
		This design rule is different than the others, since it describes how one should go about designing new features, not what the features should be.
		A program should be designed to make its features as easy as possible to discover for the user.

	XQEngine: Design Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This document briefly details some of the more important architectural components of XQEngine and how they work.
		As XQEngine's SAX parser encounters element, attribute, and text nodes during indexing, a two-part key and other information is appended to the end of the current NodeTree to represent the node, and the tree is grown as needed.
		Text in element content that's encountered during indexing is concatenated in an element-text StringBuffer maintained by the NodeTree for that document, and pointers to the start and stop locations of each text node are stored in the tree.

	SPECweb2005 Benchmark Design Document
		It is designed to measure a system's ability to act as a web server servicing static and dynamic page requests.
		This phase is designed to ramp up user activity rather than beginning the benchmark run with an immediate and full-load spike in requests.
		And though SPECweb2005 is not designed as a capacity planning tool, by exposing more benchmark tuning flexibility in the configuration files and making it easier to add custom workloads, SPECweb2005 further extends its potential usefulness in capacity planning.

	Document Design Online Journal
		Document Design Online Journal served a purpose in the early internet days when the web was just taking shape, documenting some of the changes that were coming down the pike.
		All that is history, now, as the web has matured into a shape that ever morphs into something else, often bigger, buggier, and less user friendly, especially to those of us who prefer to use something tried, true, and rarely destructive to our stable operating systems.

		Annotations should be able to be made directly on PDFs, and be portable with that PDF, but still indexed and presentable as part of the metadata of a document, for example, being accessible for HTML export.
		A major goal is to be maximally flexible with what configurations the code can support, while not forcing the user to choose between a ton of choices that are no more different than various 'skins'.
		We should present UI options for viewing, organizing and editing by the task they were designed to support.

	Software Design Document – MIPS Simulator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The data design specifies how the data of the program is going to be stored.
		The architectural design of a software project is simply the design of the entire software system.
		A good architectural design will create a clear and fair balance between cohesion (each module has only one distinct purpose), coupling (no two modules depend completely on each other), abstraction (seeing modules in full and not in detail), hierarchy (logical modules stem from others) and partitioning (logically grouping modules together) of the software modules.

	MDC:Design Document - MDC
		This section of the design document is intended to describe the information architecture that we wish to expose to users through navigation systems, internal nomenclature, and implicit ontologies (yes, yes, despite the fact that ontologies are overrated).
		This information architecture proposes that any document ("content") can be classified (as a "content-type") and categorized in order to provide multiple navigation and organizational schemes.
		Design elements should be reused so that to a casual user, the difference between wiki and weblog is minimal.

	Design Document
		This report is the initial draft, based on one month of activity, of a design document intended to identify detailed technology integration opportunities for ALP and CoABS.
		An ALP cluster is essentially a generalized agent shell, designed to provide a convenient way to define agents for individual organizations, and specialize them with/for their distinct functions.
		The approach is to use graphical component composition (as in Visual Basic) to select a type of wiring, wizards to identify domain components, document object model, animated displays of control flow and data flow, and the single environment view for agents that actually operate in a distributed fashion.
