ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF DESIGN-BY-ANALOGY: THE INFLUENCES OF ANALOGICAL DISTANCE AND COMMONNESS OF ANALOGOUS DESIGNS ON IDEATION PERFORMANCE
Cagan, Jonathan; Chan, Joel; Fu, Katherine; Schunn, Christian; Wood, Kristin; Kotovsky, Kenneth // 2011
Design-by-analogy is a powerful method for innovation, particularly during conceptual ideation, but also carries the risk of negative design outcomes (e.g., design fixation, risk aversion), depending ...

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RISK IDENTIFICATION METHOD SELECTION ACCORDING TO PRODUCT DESIGN AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT MATURITY, PRODUCT INNOVATION DEGREE AND PROJECT TEAM
Grubisic, Viviane & Vasconcellos Ferreira; Ogliari, André; Gidel, Thierry // 2011
No other type of project is in greater need of risk management than new product development projects. This is due, largely, to the innovative profile of such projects and, consequently, of the risks ...
SELECTION OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS BASED ON DISTURBANCES AND ROBUSTNESS RATIOS IN THE EARLY PHASES OF ROBUST DESIGN
Mathias, Johannes; Kloberdanz, Hermann; Eifler, Tobias; Engelhardt, Roland; Wiebel, Marion; Birkhofer, Herbert; Bohn, Andrea // 2011
Within this paper products are called robust, if uncertainties (property variations and disturbances) from production and use have no or little influence on the result during the use. In order to ...
Shape Language Describes More Than the Body
Langeveld,Lau ; Wiegers,Tjamme // 2011
The design of products involves the whole design process from Design Research to a product. The uncertainty becomes certainty during the design process. Product models have functional relations ...
The Design Approach and Activity-Led Learning

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OF USER OBSERVATION
Gerber, Elizabeth // 2011
While scholars have studied what design practices accomplish, few have considered how people feel when enacting these practices and the implication of these feelings on design work. An eighteen-month ...
UMEA - A FOLLOW UP TO ANALYSE UNCERTAINTIES IN TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Engelhardt, Roland; Wiebel, Marion; Eifler, Tobias; Kloberdanz, Hermann; Birkhofer, Herbert; Bohn, Andrea // 2011

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
