Design intent, rationale and history are important basic types of knowledge that knowledge management systems are required to capture, organize and manipulate to help generate new design knowledge.
The paper concludes that cDEC assessment methodology demonstrates how Crowdsourcing can be effectively used to evaluate, as well as generate, new design solutions.
In this study, findings from the analysis of road user situation awareness using schema theory, event analysis of systemic teamwork and cognitive work analysis were used within a participatory design process involving the Cognitive Work Analysis Design Toolkit (CWA-DT) to generate new design concepts.
In particular, Galatea provides a computational model of how human designers might be generating new designs by incremental transfer of the problem-solving procedure used in previous design cases.
In addition to artist collaborations, Mimoco sells drives inspired by popular characters like Hello Kitty as well as those from "Star Wars," and generates new designs through public events.
The proposed algorithm is compared to existing techniques and found to be much more efficient in terms of the computation time, the number of exchanges needed for generating new designs, and the achieved optimality criteria.
When generating new design concepts, most industrial designers tend to draw upon stereotypical images and their own personal design experiences.
The results provided are useful for engineers in designing energy-efficient commercial buildings or generating new design concepts for better MVAC systems.
In this paper an evolutionary technique is proposed as a method for generating new design solutions with genotypes represented in the form of hierarchical hypergraphs.
In this context, a methodology generating new Design for X (DfX) guidelines to support the early integration of service features already in the product design of PSS has been proposed by the authors.
