A GENERIC SYNTHETIC FRAMEWORK FOR CONCEPTUAL SERVICE DESIGN

Coatanéa, E.; Makkonen, P.E.; Saarelainen, T.; Castillón-Solano, M.O. // 2006
The paper proposes an approach aimed at formalizing and quantifying a service design methodology. First, it is shown that the concepts of service channel and service content are extensions of the ...

A GRAPH GRAMMAR BASED FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMATED CONCEPT GENERATION

Kurtoglu, T.; Campbell, M.I. // 2006
During conceptual design, designers envision a breadth of solution principles to all the functional requirements of an artifact, and then combine them together into feasible concept variants. We ...

A GRAPH-BASED APPROACH TO CHECK A PRODUCT FUNCTIONAL NET

Rizzuti, S.; De Napoli, L.; Rocco, C. // 2006
In the conceptual design, a product can be viewed as a functional net, defined in the classic active verb-object way, by mean of functional elements and links associated to the flow of energy, ...

A MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR THE DESIGN PROCESS IN VEHICLE SAFETY DEVELOPMENT

Kreimeyer, M.; Neumüller, K.; Lindemann, U. // 2006
Management of development demands for focused decisions considering all major impacts onto the process. However, different activities in product development often remain with little structure. Common ...

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.
