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:
Reuse is endemic in the design process. Companies recognise the concept of reuse, but few have structures for managing and taking advantage of reuse. Correspondingly, little work has been done to develop formal or semi-formal models for reuse, and consequently there are few tools which support reuse. From a survey of reuse in industry it was significant that few companies had any founal processes in place to organise designs in terms of improving the benefits from reuse, and many had a limited vision of reuse of components or assemblies [I].
