The conventional prescriptive and descriptive models of design typically decompose the
overall design process into elementary processes, such as analysis, synthesis, and …

Previous research has shown that experienced and novice individuals behave and think
differently. Although experienced individuals are better at solving problems, organisations …

Studies revealed that, while collaborating, humans tend to synchronise on multiple levels
(eg, neurocognitive or physiological). Inter-brain synchrony has been linked to improved …

This work introduces the Proficient Simulated Annealing Design Agent Model (PSADA), a
cognitively inspired, agent-based model of engineering configuration design. PSADA …

A novel approach for computational agents to learn proficient behavior in engineering
configuration design that is inspired by human learning is introduced in this work. The …

When observing a design space expansion during teamwork, several studies found that
cumulative solution-related issues' occurrence follows a linear trend. Such findings …

Faced with challenges of new collaborative and digital design processes, it is necessary to
understand how to support architectural design to articulate the information from the …

Understanding team diversity has become essential for modern-day organisations. This
study explores the impact of knowledge diversity in design teams through computational …

A cognitively inspired, agent-based model of engineering design proficiency is introduced in
this work. Proficiency is modeled using move selection heuristics and problem space search …
