The 35th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2024)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Registration is now OPEN)
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:
Integrating digital technologies into traditional products
and services is revolutionizing various industries. Smart product-service systems (SPSS) combine smart products with
data-driven services with, enhancing benefits for companies. Digital twins (DT) offer a promising approach to further enhance the value creation of SPSS, enabling observation, analysis,
visualization, simulation, interaction, and integration throughout the entire product lifecycle. Existing literature lacks methodolo-gies for SPSS that integrate DT. This paper addresses this re-search gap by proposing a methodology, applying a model-based systems engineering approach, as emphasized in the literature on DT and SPSS. Its effectiveness was demonstrated through the development of an SPSS for a fuel cell system.
