Architects and Visually Impaired People: Analyzing Two Ways of Talking
Vermeersch, Peter-Willem; Strickfaden, Megan; Herssens, Jasmien; Heylighen, Ann // 2009
While architects think and work in a visual way, people who are visually impaired may pay more attention to other senses and, as a result, are able to appreciate other spatial qualities. Because of ...
Aspects of Nonlinearity in Conceptual Design
Kroll, Ehud; Condoor, Sridhar S. // 2009
Systematic Design methods present a sequential model of conceptual design, whereby function structures are established, solution principles sought, and then combined to form the product concept. We ...
Assembly Simulation for Toleranced Parts: An Adaptes Path Planning Approach
Wittmann, Stefan; Winter, Marco; Paetzold, Kristin // 2009
One crucial task of product development is the definition of tolerances to assure the fulfillment of functional and aesthetic requirements. It is extremely difficult to specify the necessary ...
Assembly-Oriented Product Structure based on Preliminary Assembly Process Engineering
Demoly, Frédéric; Gomes, Samuel; Eynard, Benoît; Rivest, Louis; Sagot, Jean-Claude // 2009
Currently, product design is mainly influenced by customer requirements, i.e. designers are more and more focused to have a well-balanced product between function and form. However, other ...
Assessing Design Methods for Functional Representation and Concept Generation: Strategies and Preliminary Results
Tate, Derrick; Agarwal, Aditya; Zhang, Linjing // 2009
To support collaborative conceptual design, methods for functional representation and concept generation are essential. Many methods have been proposed following various design theories, but little ...
Assessing Impact Analysis Practice to Improve Change Management Capability
Kilpinen, M. S. ; Eckert, C. M.; Clarkson, P. J. // 2009

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.
