Assessment Criteria for Interaction Design Projects: Fostering Professional Perspectives on the Design Process
Arvola, Mattias // 2010
Quite often the product of design is assessed in interaction design education, but we need to develop criteria also for courses that focus on learning to conduct and manage the design process. An ...
Calculating the Impact of Form Variations on the Position of Parts
Stoll, Tobias; Lauks, Christian; Meerkamm, Harald; Wartzack, Sandro // 2010
Methods to calculate the possible effects of assigned tolerances to key criteria of a product are widely used to assure high quality standards. The used algorithms of state of the art tolerance ...
CHARACTERISING THE IMPACT OF LEGACY ARCHITECTURES ON COMPLEX PRODUCTS
Wyatt, D. F.; Wynn, D. C.; Clarkson, P. J. // 2010
The architecture of a product is important for its lifecycle performance, but incremental design is often practised to limit the duration, costs and risks of product development. Using computational ...
CUSTOMER ORIENTED CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT IN MECHATRONIC PRODUCT DESIGN
Punz, S.; Hehenberger, P.; Follmer, M.; Zeman, K. // 2010

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.
