This paper gives an overview of meta-heuristics methods utilized within the paradigm of
multi-objective programming. This is an area of research that has undergone substantial …

Shape grammars allow a designer to explore a diverse and broad design space. Especially
among architects and engineers, the opportunity to evaluate numerous alternatives in the …

Performance-driven generative design methods are capable of producing concepts and
stimulating solutions based on robust and rigorous models of design conditions and …

Developing and maintaining a consistent brand statement is an important aspect of
developing a successful product. However, maintaining that statement is difficult due in part …

The potential for capturing brand identity within a shape grammar is discussed. A two-
dimensional motorcycle shape grammar is presented, along with constraints that associate …

The field of computational design synthesis has been an active area of research for almost
half a century. Research advances in this field have increased the sophistication and …

Upcoming actuation systems will be required to perform multiple tightly coupled functions
analogous to their natural counterparts; eg, the ability to control displacements and high …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) brought a revolution in parts design and production. It enables
