The aided decision processes are expected to improve the design tasks by the reduction of
uncertainty, which is one of the principal aspects that interferes with designer choices. These …

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 …

HOW DO DESIGN HEURISTICS AFFECTS OUTCOMES? Page 1 DESIGN METHODS 1195
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2012 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 21 - 24 …

The creativity or unforeseeable nature of the design process, especially during the
conceptual phase, makes it difficult to apply current design methodologies to aid designers …

This paper explores the use of design heuristics as cognitive strategies in the creation of
innovative products. Design heuristics are guidelines that help the designer to consider …

Heuristics are rules formulated as simple rules of thumb intended to simplify the
achievement of certain goals. Such heuristics promise far-reaching advantages in the …

The objective of this communication is, through a literature review, identify and analyse the
factors are of use to adopt problem solving structures. Thus, these factors, affect to choice …

Computer-based support of decision making, particularly during the early stages of the
engineering design process, is not well developed. Designers mostly rely on their skill and …

As a creative act, design aims at achieving innovative solutions to fulfill the requirements
provided in the problem definition. In recent years, computational methods began to be used …

The approach proposed in the paper considers a decision perspective on new product
development together with the integration of different domains and tools to support design …
