Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Embedded software provides a means for the functionality of a design to adapt to new needs and requirements. Systems engineering has devised processes to incorporate embedded software with the designs from other fields, including mechanical and hardware design, to manage this flexibility attained. This paper investigates the change impact analysis techniques prescribed at the system and embedded software engineering interface and identifies the disparities between these ideal practices with the actual implemented methods through an industrial study. Observations on the barriers to the prescribed change impact analysis derive suggestions for potential improvement of the design change process.
