TOPOLOGY OF MODULAR KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURES IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Weiss, S.; Berger, B.; Birkhofer, H. // 2004
The topical subject is modularization of knowledge. A modularization approach is described, that works on a separation of contents and their presentation. To implement the modularization approach in ...
TOWARD A DATA MATURITY EVALUATION IN COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PROCESSES
Saint-Marc, L.; Callot, M.; Reyterou, C.; Moly, M.; Girard, P.; Deschamps, J-C. // 2004
This paper concerns the engineering data exchange control. It proposes to define a data evaluation system based on the concept of "data maturity" in order to control the design ...
TOWARDS A FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATED INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN MECHATRONIC PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Hallin, Karl; Zimmerman, Trond; Malmqvist, Johan // 2004
Information management at companies devoted to mechatronic product development is a cumbersome task due to the complexity of product definitions and supporting system architectures. The technology ...
TOWARDS A SYSTEM MODEL TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF DECISIONS
Dünser, T.; Meier, M. // 2004
For the evaluation of components in the design of complex systems, it is hard to determine both the evaluation criteria and their importance correctly. The paper introduces a new approach to ...
TOWARDS A THEORY OF PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Hansen, C. Thorp; Andreasen, M. Myrup // 2004
The product design specification is an important element in a product development project because it defines the target to be met. One requirement on the product design specification is to articulate ...
Towards building and sharing a common understanding of the integrated design field evolution
Mekhilef, M.; Stal le Cardinal, J.; Longueville, B.; McMahon, C. // 2004
Questions related to the emergence of new ideas, their density and location may be interesting when trying to understand the evolution of a given field. The design area is an "old" concept ...
TOWARDS MORE EFFICIENT ORGANISATION OF DESIGN SOCIETY CONFERENCES
Pavkovic, N.; Storga, M.; Dekovic, D.; Marjanovic, D. // 2004
This paper has emerged from author's experience as organisers of four conferences from “Design” series: Design '98, Design 2000, Design 2002 and Design 2004. This is not a scientific paper ...
TRACEABILITY IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Storga, M. // 2004
The main factors that make traceability difficult in designing are: complexity of design objects representations; multirelations and dependencies between design objects; fuzziness of design and ...
TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG DIFFERENT BRANCHES AT THE LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTIONAL STRUCTURE
Formanek, Josef // 2004
The objective of knowledge transfer is, among others, transfer of ideas and information about technical products ~ technical object systems (TS) and their components among different technical ...
Transfer of Knowledge among Different Branches on Levels of Modular Construction
Formanek, J. // 2004
TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG DIFFERENT BRANCHES WITH USE OF THE THEORY OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Formanek, J.; Hosnedl, S. // 2004
The proposed paper will present the developed methodology for transfer of knowledge between two or more different branches. It comes out from the current knowledge of Engineering Design Science, ...
TREATMENT OF DECISION SITUATIONS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS
Höhne, G. // 2004
During the design process different decision situations arise at planning, managing and problem solving procedures. The aim of this contribution is to characterise the content and the characteristic ...
TRUSS DIMENSIONING WITH AN UNCERTAINTY REDUCTION PARADIGM
Yannou, B.; Hamdi, A. // 2004
Constraint Programming (CP) over reals are sophisticated evolutions of interval analysis well appropriate to model and propagate uncertainties between design and performance variables during the ...
TWO REVERSE ENGINEERING METHODS FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AN HIGH SPEED CRAFT SURFACE: A COMPARISON
Gerbino, S.; Renno, F.; Papa, S. // 2004
The aim of the present work is to determine an optimal method for a virtual reconstruction, through Reverse Engineering (RE) techniques, of the hull of an high-speed craft (HSC).A laboratory has been ...

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.
