Four Domain Model: A New Possible Innovation Model for Design for Base of the Pyramid (DFBOP)
Jiang, Jiehui; Kandachar, Prabhu // 2009
According to the World Bank (2005), there are 4 billion people living on an income less than US$3 per day and 1 billion living less than even US$1 per day. This part of the population is often called ...
Framework And Metrics For Assessing The Guidance Of Design Processes
Clevenger, Caroline Murrie; Haymaker, John Riker // 2009
Traditional precedent-based architectural design explicitly generates and analyzes very few options for very few criteria. The introduction of sustainability concerns and building information ...
From How Much to How Many: A Method to Develop Representations for Computational Synthesis
Jauregui-Becker, Juan Manuel; Tragter, Hans; van Houten, Fred J. A. M. // 2009
This paper presents "from how much to how many" as a method to parameterize artifactual routine design problems for computational synthesis. The goal is to develop representations with low ...
From Text to Design Solution: Inspiring Design Ideas with Texts
Goldschmidt, Gabriela; Litan Sever, Anat // 2009
A design is said to be as successful as the leading idea that drives it is. Mature designers make frequent use of 'stock ideas' accumulated over time and stored in memory and personal ...
Function as Metonymy
Winkelman, Paul M. // 2009
Design aids often seek to map function to form. Hierarchies offer possible models but risk emphasizing competition at the expense of more cooperative relationships. Cooperation can be seen in the ...
Function-Based Solution Retrieval and Semantic Search in Mechanical Engineering
Gaag, Andreas; Kohn, Andreas; Lindemann, Udo // 2009
Providing relevant information at the right time to the right person is a key-factor for successful products and for efficient processes in mechanical engineering. To support the information chain in ...
Functional Basis and B-Cube: Alternative or Complementary Models?
Chulvi, Vicente; Vidal, Rosario // 2009
Human beings have always tried to classify knowledge in order to manage it. A common way to structure knowledge in a hierarchical manner is by means of taxonomies. Within the context of engineering ...
Functional Modeling for TRIZ-Based Evolutionary Analyses
Cascini, Gaetano; Rotini, Federico; Russo, Davide // 2009
TRIZ literature presents several papers and even books claiming the efficiency of Altshuller’s Laws of Engineering System Evolution as a means for produce technology forecasts. Nevertheless, all the ...
Functional Vector Space
Fantoni, Gualtiero; Apreda, Riccardo; Bonaccorsi, Andrea // 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.
