Yeah, I Talk to My Car,… So What? Different Roles and Levels of Closeness in Person-Object Relationships
Jacob, R. H.; Torán, M. M.; Esteve, M. C. // 2012
Often people refer to objects in similar terms as an interaction with people. We give names to some objects and sometimes we even talk to them. We also expect similar behavior from products as we ...
Zielsystemorientiertes Variantenmanagement einbaufertiger Systembaugruppen (Members only )
Albers, Albert; Walch, Markus; Lohmeyer, Quentin // 2012

"Gantt-Like" DSMs
Minogue, P. // 2011
Design Structure Matrices (DSMs) can cater for both “feed-forward” and “feed-back” coupled task dependencies but typically do not include time or critical path information. In contrast, Gantt charts ...
A CASE STUDY OF DESIGN FOR AFFORDANCE: AFFORDANCE FEATURES OF A SIMPLE MEDICAL DEVICE
Kim, Yong Se; Cho, Young Chan; Kim, Sun Ran // 2011
People interact with artifacts, either products or services, in their lives. These interactions are based on two-way communication between people and artifacts. The characteristics of artifacts that ...
A Case Study of How Knowledge Based Engineering Tools Support Experience Re-use
Andersson, Petter; Larsson, Tobias .C.; Isaksson, Ola // 2011
A manufacturing company’s unique intellectual capital is to a large extent built on experience from its own product development and manufacturing processes. Thus, efficient methods and tools to ...
A Case Study of Open-Ended Creative Practice Based Research
Nagai,Yukari; Georgiev , V.Georgi; Gwilt, Ian // 2011
This paper concerns the nature of creativity in the case of open-ended design process. In contrary to the goal-oriented design, the open-ended design process involves formation of design image and ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
