Activity theory is based on the concept of tools mediating between subjects and objects. In this theory, an individual's creative interaction with his or her surroundings can ...

The design of complex embedded systems involves the simultaneous optimization of several often competing objectives. Instead of a single optimal design, there is rather a set of a...
of abstraction and coarse granularity and distributed communication control. Focusing on using probabilistic metrics such as average values or variance to quantify design objective...
ks are quite di cult to understand when one rst uses them: the design is very abstract, to factor out commonality the design is incomplete, requiring additional subclasses to creat...
This paper asks the question: how might CSCW system design obtain and be informed by an adequate real-world, real-time understanding of work and organisation on any occasion of wor...
The design of software toolkits embodies a fundamental tension. On the one hand, it aims to reduce programmer effort by providing prefabricated, reusable software modules encapsula...
A pairwise balanced design, B(K; v), is a block design on v points, with block sizes taken from K, and with every pair of points occurring in a unique block; for a fixed K, B(K) i...
: A shape design sensitivity analysis and optimization procedure is proposed using a meshfree method. A CAD tool connection is established to facilitate the seamless integration of...

Design changes are frequently encountered in the product development process. The complexity of the design changes is multiplied when the product design involves multiple engineer...
This paper discusses product variety design under optimization viewpoint. Product variety design means the challenge to simultaneously design multiple products toward higher optim...
