Evaluating Clustering Algorithms for Identifying Design Subproblems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding how humans decompose design problems will yield insights that can be applied to develop better support for human designers. However, there are few established methods for identifying the decompositions that ...
Co-Evolution of Communication and System Performance in Engineering Systems Design: A Stochastic Network-Behavior Dynamics Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineering systems design is a dynamic socio-technical process where the social factors, such as interdisciplinary interactions, and technical factors, such as design interdependence and the design state, co-evolve. ...
Designing Representative Model Worlds to Study Socio-Technical Phenomena: A Case Study of Communication Patterns in Engineering Systems Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The engineering of complex systems, such as aircraft and spacecraft, involves large number of individuals within multiple organizations spanning multiple years. Since it is challenging to perform empirical studies directly ...
