This article presents methodological issues on evaluation related to the design process of the tool being evaluated. We emphasize the different variables which are important to ta...
The objective of this paper is to introduce dependability as an optimization criterion in the system-level design process of embedded systems. Given the pervasiveness of embedded ...
Experience Design is an emergent field of study, and various approaches to the field abound. In this paper, we take a pragmatic approach to identifying key aspects of an experienc...
In this paper we start from the position that sources of inspiration play an important role in the design process albeit in a frequently intangible way. We present the Inspiration...
This paper describes research on the use of multiple views for modelling products and processes in the design of complex products. Single visual representations of design models o...
—Any system which must learn to perform a large number of behavioral features with limited information handling resources will tend to be constrained within a set of architectura...
Complex information systems have numerous design variables that are systematically decided upon during the design process. In high-variability systems, some of these decisions are...
This paper proposes a framework for ontology-based design support systems, called DRIFT (Design Rationale Integration Framework of Three layers), which records, structures and retr...
Video and transcripts of two architectural design meetings are presented in an analysis of a specific design process. The focus of the analysis presented here is the social and c...
This paper describes the rationale and design process for Shoebox, a “digital box” that combines the storage and display of digital images in the home in one unit. By combinin...
