A Network Approach to Define Modularity of Product Components

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define three measures of component modularity that consider how components may share direct interfaces with other adjacent components, how design interfaces may propagate to all other components in the product, and how component may act as "bridges" between other components.

Multifaceted assessment of ideation: using networks to link ideation and design activity

TL;DR: In this article, a novel network visualisation approach is demonstrated in practice for the first time, which uses network analysis to link ideas dynamically to both the engineering context and the wider design process.

Making function modeling practically usable

TL;DR: By observing product development activities in industry, the paper identifies three problems that prevent formal function modeling from wider applications in practices, namely, practitioners' neglect of function modeling, the lack of practically useful function reasoning, and the complexity of the methods and tools that make them impractical.
