SIMULATION OF DESIGN REASONING BASED ON C-K THEORY: A MODEL AND AN EXAMPLE APPLICATION
Kazakci, A. O.; Hatchuel, A.; Le Masson, P.; Weil, B. // 2010
C-K design theory is a theory of design reasoning describing design as the interaction of concepts and knowledge. The foundation of C-K theory has often been laid out and studied in formal terms. By ...
SUPPORTING DESIGN BY MEANS OF MORPHOLOGICAL OVERVIEWS AND C-K THEORY IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Zeiler, W.; Savanovic, P. // 2010
Collaboration within design teams is the key to improvement of the building design process. We use the morphological overview as a tool for visualization the interaction between designers as an ...
The Design Research Methodology as a Framework for the Development of a Tool for Engineering Design Education
Saldierna, Calderon; Lino, Marco // 2010
Some educators believe that engineering design students in these times are less prepared to do well in engineering, since they lack the experience and intuition that develops from ...
The Designer: Reclaiming Design
Arthur, Leslie John; Crisp,Alan; Dale, James // 2010

A Dialectical Approach to Solve Inventive Problems Using Genetic Algorithms and TRIZ: Searching for a Computer Aided Innovation Shell
Duran-Novoa, Roberto Alejandro; Leon-Rovira, Noel; Uresti, Eduardo // 2009
Inventive problems need creativity to be solved, which is usually believed to be beyond comprehension and, thus, methodology. TRIZ and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have shown that this is at least ...
A Formalization of CK Design Theory Based on Intuitionist Logic

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.
