A MODEL OF CK DESIGN THEORY BASED ON TERM LOGIC: A FORMAL CK BACKGROUND FOR A CLASS OF DESIGN ASSISTANTS
Kazakci ,A. O.; Hatchuel, A.; Weil, B. // 2008
The paper addresses concept-knowledge (C-K) design theory. C-K theory explains design as the interaction between available knowledge (K space) and concepts (C space - propositions that are neither ...
A MODULARIZATION METHOD IN THE EARLY PHASE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Albers, A.; Burkardt, N.; Sauter, C.; Sedchaicharn, K. // 2008
A modular product architecture possesses many advantages required as one of the design goals. Most of the modularization methods focus on the redesign of existing products, in which a dependency ...
A NEW APPROACH TO IMPLEMENT THE REACH DIRECTIVE IN ENGINEERING DESIGN
Brissaud, D.; Lemagnen, M.; Mathieux, F. // 2008
The REACh regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) has to be applied since 01/06/2007 (mandatory from 01/06/2009) by all the companies in Europe. It gives a new framework ...
A NEW KNOWLEDGE BASED APPROACH THE REVERSE ENGINEERING OF A PRODUCT
Durupt, A.; Remy, S.; Ducellier, G.; Derigent, W. // 2008
Current (RE) approaches are based on frozen models (parametric surface approaches) and are hardly re-usable. Consequently, the possibility of re-engineering or re-design does not exist. This paper ...

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.
