WHY PRODUCT DESIGN SUPPORT FOR IMPROVED WORKER CONTENTEDNESS ?
Farrugia, Lawrence; Borg, Jonathan // 2015
It is frequently unrealised that emotions elicited through human-product interactions are not limited to the use phase. Indeed human workers also interact with the evolving artefact throughout ...
A CONTRIBUTION TO ASSESS THE USEFULNESS OF PRODUCTS
Paetzold (1), Kristin; Höfner (2), Bernhard // 2014
Today, the effectiveness of products is mainly influenced by interactions between user and product, which are described by the handling of a product by the human being. Reasons are not only in the ...
A Design Process for Creative Technology

A New Consumerism: The Influence of Social Technologies on Product Design
de Vere, Ian // 2014
Social media has enabled a new style of consumerism. Consumers are no longer passive recipients; instead they are assuming active and participatory roles in product design and production, facilitated ...
A STUDY OF CREATIVE BEHAVIOUR IN THE EARLY AND LATE STAGE DESIGN PROCESS
Snider ,C.M.; Dekoninck ,E.A.; Culley ,S.J. // 2014
While the study of creative behaviour is important within design research, there has to date been little study of that within later-stage design; an issue due to its inherent differences to early ...
A SYSTEM INTEGRATION METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT OF THE DESIGN PROCESS
Paetzold, K., K // 2014
The management of data and information flows is getting more and more important for the system integration and thereby the product quality. In this paper the model-based system engineering is used ...
ACTOR-BASED SIGNPOSTING: A SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE ON MODELLING DESIGN PROCESSES
Hassannezhad, M.; Cantamessa, M.; Montagna, F. // 2014
As a central issue in design research, there currently is no generic and overarching model than can satisfy common features on various design processes (DPs). The objective of providing actionable DP ...
Aesthetics versus Usability: What Drives our Product Choices?
Trathen, Stephen // 2014
This research examined the influence of usability and aesthetic/emotive characteristics on prospective buyers’ preferences in pre-purchase product selection. Results indicate that while both ...

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.
