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:
Constantly changing requirements pose a major challenge for industry, especially in the early phases of product development where there is little information available. One of the main reasons for that are the effects of change propagation. Several tools and methods address how Engineering Changes affect further product components, however how these changes affect the project cost and time has not been sufficiently addressed so far. We propose a method that aims to estimate the additional effort and impact on project time of implementing a change, providing an additional decision support whether or at what cost to implement a requirement or an engineering change.
