A New approach for Assemblability Assessment Using Time and Postural Analysis —A Case Study
Santhi,B; Chakrabarti,Amaresh; Gurumoorthy.B // 2009
This paper explores a new approach to assess assemblability of manual assembly. Assessment of assembly is a prerequisite to optimize an assembly process. Traditionally assemblability is assessed by ...
A Problem Decomposition Method for Conceptual Design
Sarkar,Somwrita; Dong,Andy ; Gero,S.John // 2009
In this paper, based on ndings from situated cognition, we argue that human reasoning is characterized by an ability to dynamically re-organize knowledge available in an experience, and re-construct ...
A Review of Product Sketching in Early Phases of Design
Onkar, S.Prasad ; Sen,Dibakar // 2009
Sketching has been the chosen method of expression of product ideas in the initial phase of product design.Existing CAD modeling systems do not support the early phases of design effectively. There ...
Affordance Feature Reasoning: A Case Study for Human-Product Interaction
Kim, Yong Se; Lim, Jin Seung; Park, Jin A // 2009
Affordances of a product are messages which could be perceived by a human user so that the product function can work by a user's activities naturally induced with the help of such messages. ...
An Agent Based Approach to Modeling Design Teams
Crowder, Richard Michael; Hughes, Helen; Sim, Yee Wai; Robinson, Mark // 2009
It is well recognized that an effective design process is contingent on the joint optimization of both the social and technical aspects of such an activity. Thus interactions between individual ...
An Artificially Intelligent Recommender for Enhancing User’s Browsing Experience
Vaishnav,Vikas; Yammiyavar,Pradeep // 2009
This paper is a depiction of how user experience, while interacting with a product can be improved by identifying the user's choices based on their behaviors and reactions while interacting with ...
An Empirical Study of Energy Efficiency of Clothes Dryers
Lee, Jay; Hoeller, Norbert; Rogers, Damian; Musnier, Samuel; Salustri, Filippo Arnaldo // 2009
The domestic clothes dryer is one of the most energy-consumptive appliances in the residential sector, but there has been relatively little work to study its environmental aspects and improve upon ...
An Exploration of the Human Element in Collaboration
Hunter, Matthew; Salustri, Filippo Arnaldo // 2009
In this paper, the authors propose that there is an inconsistency in the understanding of collaboration and of the collaborator because of a contradiction between attitudinal and behavioural ...

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.
