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:
Today development projects in automotive industry are highly distributed and several packages are completely handled by system suppliers. Moreover the illustrated situation is aggravated by an increasing number of models and variants. Two methods for supporting designers in that situation will be introduced. The first focuses on a test design which helps to select crucial variant characteristics and to plan the experimental set up accordingly. The second compiles information on product tests regarding organisational resources, required prototypes, milestones, testing results and integrates them into a common information platform for the overall controlling of the design project status.
