The solution to a design problem is extracted through the exploitation of the design
knowledge in the context of a space of solution alternatives. The design process …

Problems in the field of engineering design represent an important class of real world
problems that typically require a fuzzy and imprecise representation, since relations and …

Engineering design requires extensive decomposition and integration activities relying on a
multidisciplinary basis. A design structure matrix (DSM) can be used as a representation and …

Engineering design is essentially a collaborative decision-making process that requires
rigorous evaluation, comparison and selection of design alternatives and optimization from a …

The agent paradigm can be quite straightforwardly applied to handle complex uncertain
problems where global knowledge is inherently distributed and shared by a number of …

This paper describes an interactive evolutionary approach to synthesize component-based
preliminary engineering design problems. This approach is intended to address preliminary …

This paper proposes a hybrid decision support model within a multi-agent framework to
facilitate integration and collaboration for design decisions. The hybrid decision model …

Problems in the field of engineering design represent an important class of real world
problems that typically require a fuzzy and imprecise representation. This article presents …

ABSTRACT A computerized model, CoED (Collaboration Enhancing among Design
participants) was developed, focusing on the relationships between designers, design …

This article explores the applicability of heuristic rules into the decision-making processes
involved in design practices, with the aim of generating a strategic approach for the fixation …
