Product-Service Systems. Using an Existing Concept as a New Approach to Sustainability

Ezio Manzini, Carlo Vezzoli, Garrette Clark · 1 Jan 2001

A new version of the stream cipher Grain-128 is proposed. The new version, Grain-128a, is strengthened against all known attacks and observations on the original Grain-128, and has built-in support for optional authentication. The changes are modest, keeping the basic structure of Grain-128. This gives a high confidence in Grain-128a and allows for easy updating…

Problem Structuring and Information Access in Design

John Restrepo, Henri Christiaans · 1 Jan 2004

In order to design proper information systems for designers, it is important to understand how they enrich their knowledge base during the design process, what triggers their queries for information, what strategies they use and what factors influence their behaviour in relation to information seeking. Exploring these questions requires a closer look into the design…

Mood measurement with Pick-A-Mood: review of current methods and design of a pictorial self-report scale

Pieter Desmet, Martijn H. Vastenburg, Natalia Romero · 1 Jan 2016

This paper introduces Pick-A-Mood, a character-based pictorial scale for reporting and expressing moods. Pick-A-Mood consists of three characters that each express eight mood states, representing four main categories: excited and cheerful (for energised-pleasant), irritated and tense (for energised-unpleasant), relaxed and calm (for calm-pleasant), and bored and sad (for calm-unpleasant). Using Pick-A-Mood requires little effort on…

Visual Analogy as a Cognitive Strategy in the Design Process. Expert Versus Novice Performance

Hernán Casakin · 1 Jan 2004

This study investigated the use of visual analogy in architectural design. Its purpose was to provide some understanding of the way experts and novices apply visual analogical thinking to generate satisfactory solutions during the design process. Although there are several anecdotal examples in the design literature that have reported the use of analogy, few studies…

Enabling distributed multi-disciplinary design of complex products: a knowledge based engineering approach

Gianfranco La Rocca, Michel van Tooren · 1 Jan 2007

In this paper, it is discussed how knowledge based engineering has been exploited to develop a flexible design system, able to integrate a heterogeneous set of distributed discipline-specific design and analysis tools into a modular design framework. This system, called Design and Engineering Engine (DEE), demonstrated its capability to support designers in performing what-if studies…
