Agent-Based Modeling of Mass-Collaborative Product Development Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mass-collaborative product development refers to a paradigm where large groups of people compete and collaborate globally to develop new products and services. In contrast to the traditional ...
Extracting the Structure of Design Information From Collaborative Tagging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Information representation in engineering design is currently dominated by top–down approaches such as taxonomies and ontologies. While top–down approaches provide support for computational reasoning, ...
Modeling the Effect of Product Architecture on Mass-Collaborative Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional product development efforts are primarily based on well-structured and hierarchical product development processes. The products are systematically decomposed into subsystems that are ...
Analysis of the Structure and Evolution of an Open-Source Community
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Open-source processes are based on the paradigm of self-organized communities as opposed to the traditional hierarchical teams. These processes have not only been successful in the software ...
Managing Design-Process Complexity: A Value-of-Information Based Approach for Scale and Decision Decoupling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design-processes for multiscale, multifunctional systems are inherently complex due to the interactions between scales, functional requirements, and the resulting design decisions. While complex ...
Model Selection Under Limited Information Using a Value-of-Information-Based Indicator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers are continuously challenged by complexity, as well as by the excessive instantiation and execution times of models, particularly in the context of integrated product and materials design. ...
