Dimensions of Decision Situations in Complex Product Development
Jupp, Julie Rose; Eckert, Claudia; Clarkson, John // 2009
Decision-making is a multifaceted phenomenon. Yet in design, many models describing decision-making and approaches to decision support are based on simplistic process models and assumptions. This ...
Disruptive vs. Sustaining Technology and the Design Process
Kaldate, Amit; Thurston, Deborah; Rood, Mark // 2009
The preliminary stages of design often focus on how to configure the artifact in such a way as to beat the existing competition in a performance attribute widely available in the marketplace. But ...
Distributed Modeling of Component DSM
Tilstra, A. H.; Seepersad, C. C.; Wood, K. // 2009
Does sponsored studio teaching undermine or facilitate the growth of the design profession?
Liem, Andre // 2009
Changing technologies, attitudes and perceptions within industry and society has continuously stimulated and challenged the design profession. For some actors and organisations in the design field, ...
Domain-Spanning Design Tools for Heterogeneous Systems
Brix, Torsten; Reeßing, Michael // 2009
In the past it was often adequate to assemble an overall system from separately developed and optimized parts. However, recent developments in engineering show the need to integrate mechanical, ...
Drawing DSM Implementation in Construction Design – Discussions on Applicability
Senthilkumar, V.; Varghese, K. // 2009
DRED 2.0: A Method and Tool for Capture and Communication of Design Knowledge Deliberated in the Creation of Technical Products
Bracewell, Rob; Gourtovaia, Marina; Moss, Michael; Knott, David; Wallace, Ken; Clarkson, P. John // 2009
This paper addresses the general issue of software tool support for designers, helping them to structure, to communicate and to document activities of generation, evaluation and decision. Here the ...
DSM and the Explainer
Steward, D. V. // 2009
Dynamic Linking and Retrieval of Product Models to Product Development Processes
Lauer, Wolfgang; Lindemann, Udo // 2009
In product development processes, the retrieval of the right product information at the right time is an important factor to maintain efficient and effective processes. Existing approaches use e.g. ...

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.
