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. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
In order to support a question-answer driven simulation process, a design process model capable of describing problem statements, model specifications, simulation models and problem answers as separate objects is introduced. This enables a granularity level of information that allows traceability on an object-to-object level between the attributes in the requirements specification and the estimated product properties. This also offers traceablity and reuse of partial result created during the verification of a specific requirements attribute as well as a possibility to study the effects that changes in the requirements specification have on product properties.
