34th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2023)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Abstract Submissions by 26 May 2023)
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 plant engineering, all products are unique. Nevertheless, it should be possible to find and reuse as many repeat parts as possible. Existing search tools in PDM systems are not suitable for this purpose, since they are too uneconomical in terms of data maintenance in view of the small quantities of plant prod-ucts, or they are originally designed for retrieving individual parts, but not building structures. This paper proposes the ap-proach of performing repeated searches on the basis of similar building structures and combines concepts of fuzzy searches with the traversal of product structures for this purpose.
