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:
Complexity of variances in systems leads to challenges in structuring and in making development decisions. Models can collect system information to make them available and transparent. Currently, no approach to model the variance of systems along relevant engineering artifacts exists. This research aims to develop a consistent variant modeling approach: In a literature review (1), relevant approaches in model-based variant management are identified to derive requirements for variant modelling (2). Based on the requirements, approaches are evaluated in a matrix (3). Since no approach satisfies all requirements, one approach is extended (4). For evaluation purpose (5), applicability of the approach is demonstrated and assessed by experts. The result is a modeling method for variant modeling.
