Human Behaviour in Design addresses important aspects of creative engineering design. The main topics are the interaction between two complementary modalities - "image" and "concept", internal and external components of design thinking, and design strategies - both for individual designers and design teams. The goal is to improve and evaluate tools and methods that support design. Although this book is the outcome of an international workshop held in March 2003, it is more than just a collection of its contributions. The papers are arranged into three main topics: Individual Thinking and Acting; Interaction Between Individuals; Methods, Tools and Prerequisites. There are summaries of the discussions of the respective topics written by the chairpersons, conclusions, and an outlook to future issues in design research.
The initial motivator for the development of DRM, a Design Research Methodology, and the subsequent writing of this book was our frustration about the lack of a common terminology, benchmarked research methods, and above all, a common research methodology in design. A shared view of the goals and framework for doing design research was missing. Design is a multidisciplinary activity occurring in multiple application areas and involving multiple stakeholders. As a consequence, design research emerges in a variety of disciplines for a variety of applications with a variety of subjects. This makes it particularly difficult to review its literature, relate various pieces of work, find common gro...
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 659,000 articles from more than 30,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2011, have been catalogued.
Explains how Design for the Environment (SFE) and Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) processes may be integrated into business an dmanufacturing practices. Examines major environmental laws and regulations in the U.S. and Europe, qualitative and quantitative analyses of ""green design"" decision variables, and heuristic search programs for a proactive future in ecological improvement.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning, ICCBR-95, held in Sesimbra, Portugal, in October 1995. The 52 revised papers included are classified as scientific papers , application papers , and posters . All current aspects of research and development aiming at industrial applications in CBR are addressed. Among the topical sections are case and knowledge representation, case retrieval, nearest neighbour methods, case adaption and learning, cognitive modelling, integrated reasoning methods, and application-oriented methods: planning, decision making, diagnosis, interpretation, design, etc.
Expanding the field's reach with new approaches to application Design Applications in Industry and Education is a collection of papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Engineering Design in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1981 by Workshop Design-Konstruktion, this conference has grown to become one of the field's major exchanges; one of four volumes, this book provides current insight based on the ongoing work of the field's leading engineers. Novel applications are explored with emphasis on solving barrier challenges, suggesting new avenues for implementation and expansion of engineering design's utility.
This open access book reports on innovative methods, technologies and strategies for mastering uncertainty in technical systems. Despite the fact that current research on uncertainty is mainly focusing on uncertainty quantification and analysis, this book gives emphasis to innovative ways to master uncertainty in engineering design, production and product usage alike. It gathers authoritative contributions by more than 30 scientists reporting on years of research in the areas of engineering, applied mathematics and law, thus offering a timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary account of theories and methods for quantifying data, model and structural uncertainty, and of fundamental strateg...
vi The process is important! I learned this lesson the hard way during my previous existence working as a design engineer with PA Consulting Group's Cambridge Technology Centre. One of my earliest assignments involved the development of a piece of labo- tory automation equipment for a major European pharmaceutical manufacturer.Two things stick in my mind from those early days – first, that the equipment was always to be ready for delivery in three weeks and,second,that being able to write well structured Pascal was not sufficient to deliver reliable software performance. Delivery was ultimately six months late,the project ran some sixty percent over budget and I gained my first promotion t...
Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich den Modellen und Methoden der Produktentwicklung, mit dem Ziel, ein marktgerechtes Produkt zur richtigen Zeit in der richtigen Qualität zu den geplanten Entwicklungs- und Produktkosten anzubieten. Die Vorgehensweise orientiert sich am Produktentstehungsprozess nach der VDI-Richtlinie 2221. Der Fokus liegt auf leistungsfähigen Methoden als Werkzeuge für moderne Entwicklungsteams, um den Anforderungen heutiger Entwicklungsaufgaben im Unternehmen gerecht zu werden.In diesem Sinn werden die Schritte von der Produktidee über die Projektdefinition bis zum Konzept als wesentliche planerische und kreative Schritte der Produktentstehung betrachtet. Detaillierte Beschreibungen von Methoden zur Qualitätssicherung, der Sicherheitstechnik, des Produktkosten- und des Variantenmanagements, zum Entwickeln von und mit Prototypen sowie zur Entwicklung und Produktion im globalen Maßstab bilden die Grundlagen und beschreiben Sichtweisen und Rahmenbedingungen mit signifikantem Einfluss auf die Entscheidungsfindung.
