Abstract: A properly designed product-system platform seeks to reduce the cost and lead time for design and development of the product-system family. A key goal is to achieve a tradeoff between economy of scope from product variety ...

Abstract: Conceptual design evaluation is an indispensable component of innovation in the early stage of engineering design. Properly assessing the effectiveness of conceptual design requires a rigorous evaluation of the outputs. ...

Abstract: In the rapidly advancing field of multi-modal machine learning (MMML), the convergence of multiple data modalities has the potential to reshape various applications. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the ...

Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) models have made significant progress in automating the creation of 3D shapes, which has the potential to transform car design. In engineering design and optimization, evaluating ...

Abstract: Patent data have long been used for engineering design research because of its large and expanding size and widely varying massive amount of design information contained in patents. Recent advances in artificial intelligence ...

Abstract: When designing evidence-based policies and programs, decision-makers must distill key information from a vast and rapidly growing literature base. Identifying relevant literature from raw search results is time and resource ...

Abstract: Identifying relevant stimuli that help generate solutions of desired novelty and quality is challenging in analogical design. To quell this challenge, the multifaceted effects of using stimuli which are located at various ...
