In this article, we propose Design-by-Analogy (DbA) as an approach with the potential to effectively support designers’ creativity during ideation stage for design problems from Product, Service or Product Service Systems (PSS). We start by contrasting natural evolution and selection of species to economical human systems survival, where the options for companies are adaptation or mutation, whe...

Digital systems offer computational power and instant feedback. Game designers are using these features to create scaffolding tools to reduce player frustration. However, researchers are finding some unexpected effects of scaffolding on strategy development and problem-solving behaviors. We used a digital Sudoku game named Professor Sudoku to classify built-in critical features, frustration con...

BACKGROUND Increasingly, Web-based health applications are developed for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. However, their reach and utilization is often disappointing. Qualitative evaluations post-implementation can be used to inform the optimization process and ultimately enhance their adoption. In current practice, such evaluations are mainly performed with end-user surveys. ...

the analyses by the first ranked economists show that the economical growth of the countries that import oil or non-oil developing countries (nodcs) depends on the economical growth of the industrial countries. “goldstein” & “khan” by means of a long & complete verification show the dependence of the economical growth and “callier” also claims this fact that the economical growth of the countri...

In the developing world, skills in innovation and creative design have emerged as key attributes for graduating designers. Creativity is essential if we want to generate new solutions to the considerable and complex problems in architecture. Metaphor is frequently expressed as a key tool for enhancing creative design, yet little empirical research has been performed on how novice designers can ...

With the rapid development of information technologies, ability Generative Design, which is included in production processes, to produce producible products by working integrated with simulation has started rethink future roles industrial designers. Therefore, this study examines how Design can progress conventional processes and help designers future. The potential generatively obtained form-s...

As the science of building agents and agent based applications improves, agents are gradually making the transition from research laboratory prototypes to industrial applications. In an industrial setting pragmatic engineering issues related to the development and maintenance of agents come to the fore. In this paper a list of important engineering characteristics of agent architectures is pres...

There is an emerging concern that modem glass cockpits induce information overload. This is sometimes thought to be an inevitable result of the increased complexity and the need for automation that accompanies the transition to high technology. We argue here that the human performance problems created by glass cockpits are not an inevitable consequence of increased hardware complexity or of aut...

Machine industry faces a shift where more and more functionality is implemented in software on distributed computer systems. Many difficult problems then face designers including system modelling, analysis and management of multi disciplinary design teams. There is a need to transfer theoretical results to industrial practice, necessitating the integration of existing work from separate discipl...
