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 Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE), knowledge about a product family is stored in a computer system in order to automate routine engineering work. Two challenges associated with this is acquiring the knowledge from a domain expert, and to make the knowledge visible to the users of the KBE-system. One proposed tool for working with both these challenges is the Knowledge Brief (K-brief). The K-brief is a structured evolution from the A3 thinking of Lean Product Development, and can be used both as a tool for documentation and knowledge acquisition. In order to evaluate K-briefs as a tool, a questionaire is proposed as a tool for data collection during a full day workshop with various stakeholders using a KBE-system.
