Toward a formalization of affordance modeling for engineering design

Phillip Cormier, +2 more
- 07 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: This affordance-based problem representation provides a structured approach to problem abstraction—the process of specifying user needs without reference to specific solutions, which is intended to improve model quality and consistency, while managing model creation resources.

Design for energy efficiency: proposition of a guidelines-based tool

Jérémy Bonvoisin, +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new Design for Energy Efficiency (DFE) method is presented, which uses a structured inventory of guidelines to be implemented during design and will help identify constructive design strategies for products.

Function in Engineering: Benchmarking Representations and Models

Joshua D. Summers, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the requirements and needs to establish a benchmarking protocol for systematic comparison of different function modeling representations, including representation characteristics, supported cognitive dimensions, and enabled reasoning activities.

Collaborative Design Aspects in the European Global Product Realization Project

Ahmed Bufardi, +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigates how the collaborative design aspects are incorporated in the E-GPR project and describes a group decision-making framework that allows structuring and formalizing the concept selection activity in order to improve its efficiency.
