+# Design for GAN
+
+GAN (General Adversarial Net) is an important model for unsupervised learning and widely used in many areas. 
+
+It contains several important machine learning concepts, including building and running subgraphs, dependency tracing, different optimizers in one executor and so forth.
+
+In our GAN design, we wrap it as a user-friendly easily customized python API to design different models. We take the conditional DC-GAN as an example due to its good performance on image generation.
+
+## The Conditional-GAN might be a class. 
+This design we adopt the popular open source design in https://github.com/carpedm20/DCGAN-tensorflow and https://github.com/rajathkmp/DCGAN. It contains following data structure:
+
+### DCGAN(object):
+which contains everything required to build a GAN model. It provides following member functions methods as API:
+
+### __init__(...):
+Initialize hyper-parameters (like conv dimension and so forth), and declare model parameters of discriminator and generator as well.
+
+### generator(z, y=None):
+Generate a fake image from input noise z. If the label y is provided, the conditional GAN model will be chosen.
+Returns a generated image.
+
+### discriminator(image):
+Given an image, decide if it is from a real source or a fake one. 
+Returns a 0/1 binary label.
+
+### build_model(self):
+build the whole GAN model, define training loss for both generator and discrimator.

+## Discussion on Engine Functions required to build GAN
+- Trace the ternsor and variable dependency in the engine executor. (Very critical, otherwise GAN can'be be trained correctly)
+- Different optimizers responsible for optimizing different loss.

+To be more detailed, we introduce our design of DCGAN as following:
+
+### Class member Function: Initializer
+- Set up hyper-parameters, including condtional dimension, noise dimension, batch size and so forth.
+- Declare and define all the model variables. All the discriminator parameters are included in the list self.theta_D and all the generator parameters are included in the list self.theta_G.
