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:
Over the last decade terms like “Virtual Prototyping”, “Virtual Engineering”, “Virtual Product Development” and “Virtual Reality” have been propagated. These terms mostly come from other disciplines and stakeholders (e.g. from developers of computer tools, computer science in general), their use still is somewhat messy. This paper tries to define a base for these issues from the perspective of Design Theory and Methodology which should be the base discipline for investigating, systemising and improving product development/design processes, but has not yet come to a decisive viewpoint about the implications and use of the terms mentioned.
