Abstract
Design methods have been suggested for many years, but have received limited use. The regions of design engineering, integrated product development, and industrial design are briefly compared. A continuing development is based on Engineering Design Science, and is demonstrated on a case example of conceptualising a large system. These methodologies assume a novel design problem, emphasize the major design phases, and show clearly how the gaps can be bridged. Only those parts of this designing process that are useful are employed. This cannot possibly be done in a linear procedure; feedback, iteration (repeating the operations with better understanding) and recursion (dividing a problem into parts, solving, and re-combining) are needed.

DESIGN 2006 Conference is founded on the continuous development of organization and evaluation procedure that resulted in a capacity to deliver procedures and conditions of communicative competence. The conference in Dubrovnik will be the 9th International Design Conference, including the following topics: * theory and research methods in design * methods and tools in design practice * design projects and processes * development of products and services * competencies & communications *...
