Frontier Design: A Product Usage Context Method
TL;DR: A contextual needs assessment methodology is presented to assist the designer in discovering and documenting the “how,’ “where,” and “who” factors of the product context and provides strong justification for the widespread dissemination of the methodology in education as well as in field practice.

An Experimental Evaluation of Design Information Reuse During Conceptual Design
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an experimental case study conducted to evaluate the reuse of design information during the conceptual design phase and find that about 50% of the queries made by the subjects were related to the conceptual stage information from the past design effort.
