In recent times a service-dominant logic is permeating the design of complex systems.
However, in spite of their appeal, initiatives such as Product Service Systems (PSS) have not …

Emerging from a study in the European aerospace industry, this paper identifies a gap in the
way value-related information is communicated to designers of hardware in the preliminary …

Current systems engineering (SE) standards do not address 'Value'in much detail. Yet,
understanding what drives the generation of stakeholder value in a given business context …

The development of new technologically advanced products requires the contribution from a
range of skills and disciplines, which are often difficult to find within a single company or …

Designing resilient engineered systems that can sense and withstand adverse events and
recover from the effects of the adverse events is increasingly seen as an important goal of …

The research activity proposed in this paper is framed within the context of the concurrent
engineering applied to the complex aeronautical system development. The main objective is …

The use of decision-making models in the early stages of the development of complex
products and technologies is a well-established practice in industry. Engineers rely on well …

The NASA Systems Engineering Research Consortium was founded to investigate the
engineering and mathematical basis of systems engineering. The Consortium brought …

Decomposing and clarify “sustainability” implications in the same way as concrete targets on
product functionality is challenging, mainly due to the problem of showing numbers and …

In this paper, a value-based global optimization (VGO) algorithm is introduced. The
algorithm uses kriging-like surrogate models and a sequential sampling strategy based on …
