Abstract: This article presents an integrated multistate method for the early-phase design of inherently robust systems; namely, those capable, as a prima facie quality, of maintaining adequate performance ...

Abstract: Understanding how and why changes propagate during engineering design is critical because most products and systems emerge from predecessors and not through clean sheet design. This paper examines ...

Abstract: Designing a large-scale complex system, such as a city of the future, with a focus on sustainability requires a systematic approach toward integrated design of all subsystems. Domains such as ...
