TIDYING UP DESIGN METHODS – AN APPROACH USING ELEMENTARY DESIGN METHODS
Birkhofer, H. // 2008
This contribution presents an innovative approach to defining elementary design methods to “tidy up” the obscure body of prescriptive procedures for design work. The key concept to overcome this was ...
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF COGNITIVE TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Paetzold, K.; Schmid, U. // 2008
Today increasingly intelligence is expected by technical systems with which they should be enable to operate autonomously. Therewith technical systems are to be put in the position to react flexible ...
TOLERANCE ANALYSIS OF GEOMETRICALLY NON-IDEAL SYSTEMS IN MOTION
Stuppy, J.; Meerkamm, H. // 2008
The functionality of technical systems in motion is influenced by small geometrical variations of their components. To quantify this influence, tolerance analysis is carried out. In this paper, ...
TOWARDS A DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR COMPUTATIONAL SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS
Schotborgh, W. O.; Kokkeler, F. G. M.; Tragter, H.; Röring, M. H. L.; van Houten, F. J. A. M. // 2008
A computational synthesis system (CSS) automates the generation phase of a design process. Development of a CSS for a new design case has not received much attention in the literature, since most ...
TOWARDS AN INTEGRATION OF SIX SIGMA, DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA AND DESIGN METHODOLOGY
Schmidt-Kretschmer, M.; Warncke, T. R. // 2008
The selection and interpretation of methods and workflow within the product development process are not synchronous and practice usually varies between the departments involved (e.g. development and ...
Towards Integrated Modelling of Product Lifecycle Management Information and Processes

TOWARDS KNOWLEDGE INTENSIVE DESIGN SUPPORT FOR THE MICRO SURGICAL DOMAIN
Grech, A. K.; Borg, J. C. // 2008
This paper, which is part of ongoing research, proposes a framework for a knowledge intensive computer aided design (KICAD) tool that will be able to aid designers working in the micro surgical ...
TOWARDS REPRESENTING, EVOLVING AND NETWORKING ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE FOR COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN SYNTHESIS
Hoisl, F.; Shea, K.; Helms, B. // 2008
Current computational design synthesis methods are often based on static knowledge and restricted to limited scope tasks focusing on specialized engineering knowledge only. Based on a review of ...

de Vere, Ian // 2008
UNCERTAINTY AND RISK REDUCTION IN ENGINEERING DESIGN EMBODIMENT PROCESSES
Grebici, K.; Goh, Y. M.; McMahon, C. // 2008
The interdependency between information requirements and lead-time reduction is a challenging issue usually addressed by collaborative and concurrent design processes. The combination of temporal ...
UNCERTAINTY HANDLING IN INTEGRATED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Lindemann, U.; Lorenz,M. // 2008
Innovation projects have to face uncertainties resulting from lacking or imperfect information on market or technology-related issues. Common development process model do not fully support radical ...
Uniting Systems Modeling Approaches with DSMs

USER KNOWLEDGE IN A CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OF A BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS DIRECTORY SERVICE
Mannonen, P.; Runonen, M. // 2008
Existing process descriptions and methods of user-centred design emphasize the understanding of users and context of use and evaluating the usability of designed products. The descriptions of user ...
USER SPECIFIC SUPPLY OF DOCUMENTS FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT KNOWLEDGE BY MEANS OF A COMPREHENSIVE TOPIC MAP APPLICATION
Weber, H.; Lenhart, M.; Birkhofer, H. // 2008
Current books and also computer aided tools for the transfer of product development knowledge are mostly static and do not consider the user specific needs. A modular contents basis allows the ...

USING PARAMETAR ANALYSIS FOR INCORPORATING DESIGN PRINCIPLES DURING CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Condoor, S. S.; Kroll, E. // 2008
Design principles capture the essence of design knowledge. They can aid in synthesizing and evaluating design concepts. Opportunities to incorporate the principles often go unattended, due to the ...
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.
