This paper discusses a two-step virtual reality based conceptual design tool that enables industrial designers to create sketches of their ideas in 3-dimensional space in real tim...
Object-oriented frameworks play an essential role in the implementation of product-line architectures (PLAs) for product families. However, recent case studies reveal that deriving...
With current trends towards moving variability from hardware to software, and given the increasing desire to postpone design decisions as much as is economically feasible, managin...

Simulation models provide a powerful tool for the analysis of manufacturing systems, but their utility beyond the design stage of the system life cycle is hampered by the high cos...
In both the quality improvement and the design of a product, the engineering characteristics affecting product performance are primarily identified and improved to optimize custom...
