A tensor product surface $\mathscr {S}$ is an algebraic that defined as the closure of image a rational map $\phi$ from $\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1$ to {P}^3$. We provide new determinantal representations under assumptions generically injective and its base points are finitely many locally complete intersections. These matrices built coefficients linear relations (syzygies) quadratic bih...

Abstract The key to successful product development is better understanding of customer requirements and efficiently identifying the attributes. In recent years, a growing number researchers have studied mining preferences from online reviews. However, since often change dynamically on multi-generation products, most existing studies failed discover correlations between satisfaction continuous i...

Current practices in the industry are moving towards the market-driven development of software intensive products compared to customer-specific system development. Consequently, product management is faced with several challenges that have to be addressed as a part of the market-driven requirements engineering process. One of the important challenges is how to select the right mix of requiremen...

In general, it is difficult to select a satisfactory product concept because the information in the early stage of design process is subjective, qualitative, and even uncertain to design engineers. The correlations among engineering characteristics for a product concept also increase the complexity of conceptual design. Moreover, it becomes important to consider not only customer requirements b...

This paper describes the systematic design method for Product-Service Systems (PSS) where service and product elements are integrated using affordances. In the PSS design method, a service element is composed of the activities from the service blueprint and the functions from the function analysis. The service elements contain the service providers and receivers and their activities and are to ...

In order to meet the design requirements of quick configuration of products for consumers, facing the problems of the poor share and reuse of product configuration knowledge, and inefficient configuration, propose the product configuration design method of product family model based on the forecast of user demands. Build the ontology modeling of product family using the share and reuse of ontol...

Article history: Received 11 February 2016 Revised 16 December 2016 Accepted 1 January 2017 Available online 29 January 2017 How does being motivated to avoid infectious disease affect the kinds of products people value and buy? Using population-level and experimental data, six studies converge to indicate that infectious disease cues can negatively impact evaluation of secondhand, but not new,...

This article addresses the challenge of determining optimal product family architectures with customer preference data. The proposed model, predictive data-driven product family design (PDPFD), expands clusteringbased approaches to incorporate a market-driven approach. The market-driven approach provides a profit model in the near future to determine the optimal position and number of product a...
