Multilevel design problems are typically decomposed into a hierarchy of distributed and strongly coupled sub-problems, each solved by design teams with specialized knowledge and t...
Background: As an alternative to the frequently used "reference design" for two-channel microarrays, other designs have been proposed. These designs have been shown to b...

Most real world engineering design optimisation approaches reported in the literature aim to find the best set of solutions using computationally expensive quantitative (QT ) mode...
Traditionally, two alternative design design approaches have been available to engineers: top-down and bottom-up. In the top-down approach, the design process starts with specifyin...
Because of the increasing complexity of products and the design process, as well as the popularity of computer-aided documentation tools, the number of electronic and textual desi...
Whilst conventional approach in structural design is based on reliability-calibrated factored design formula, performance-based design customizes a solution to the specific circum...
The environment has been recognized as an explicit and exploitable element to design Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). It can be assigned a number of responsibilities that would be more d...

Due to the increasing complexity of today's circuits a high degree of automation in the design process is mandatory. The detection of faults and design errors is supported qu...
Abstract. Numerous design decisions are made in model-based software development which often are not documented explicitly. Hence, the design knowledge is 'in the designers mi...
—The design of new embedded systems is getting more and more complex as more functionality is integrated into these systems. To deal with the design complexity, a predictable des...
