摘要
We provide an introduction to the field of functional representation and reasoning from an engineering point of view. Our main goals are to: (i) present and clarify the notion of function with the aim of unifying diverse perspectives, (ii) identify the various current approaches to represent function, and (iii) highlight the potential of functional reasoning for engineering applications.
