项目摘要

Design leads to new products that drive economic growth; new technologies make it possible for many more people to be involved in design processes. For example, some online community members now share designs for products with each other, allowing each member to further develop an idea and customize it for their own needs. These design choices and explorations could, in principle, be combined to give a wider picture of the space of possible designs around a given problem; this, in turn, might lead to better overall designs and solutions. Further, collective exploration of large design spaces might afford solutions to problems that are currently difficult or impossible to solve. This project seeks to understand how large numbers of cooperating individuals can create new products through better understanding and guiding their exploration of possible designs. The goal of the work is to discover tools and techniques that can be used to increase the speed and quality of design for both physical products, such as those produced by 3D printers, and informational products, such as articles in Wikipedia. This project seeks to improve design as practiced by large sets of cooperating individuals. This improvement will be measured by looking at both the quality of the designs produced, as well as the overall coverage of alternatives and the efficiency of the exploratory process. The research will proceed over a three-year period. The first year will seek to understand how descriptions of design are related to design processes and outcomes. This will be accomplished through five activities. The first activities will look at existing data from two different domains: designs of 3D objects, and texts of articles. The next two studies will involve experiments with human designers who will be presented with alternative descriptions for the same objects, as well the same descriptions for alternative objects. The last activity of the first year is related to broadening participation in computing: exercises will be constructed to attract participation from high school students. The second year will study how changes in design criteria can guide the exploration of design spaces. Human participants will be placed in one of two conditions that address changes in criteria in different ways. The third year will use experiments to discover how tools that work over longer periods of time can augment the productivity of designers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

设计带来新产品，推动经济增长;新技术使更多的人参与设计过程成为可能。例如，一些在线社区成员现在相互分享产品设计，允许每个成员进一步开发一个想法并根据自己的需求进行定制。原则上，这些设计选择和探索可以结合起来，为围绕给定问题的可能设计提供更广阔的空间;这反过来又可能导致更好的整体设计和解决方案。此外，对大型设计空间的集体探索可能为目前难以或不可能解决的问题提供解决方案。该项目旨在了解大量合作的个人如何通过更好地理解和指导他们对可能设计的探索来创造新产品。这项工作的目标是发现可用于提高物理产品（如3D打印机生产的产品）和信息产品（如维基百科中的文章）设计速度和质量的工具和技术。该项目旨在改善设计，因为实践的大套合作的个人。衡量这一改进的标准是，既要看所产生的设计的质量，也要看备选方案的总体覆盖范围和探索进程的效率。这项研究将持续三年。第一年将试图了解设计的描述如何与设计过程和结果相关。这将通过五项活动来实现。第一个活动将查看来自两个不同领域的现有数据：3D对象的设计和文章的文本。接下来的两项研究将涉及人类设计师的实验，这些设计师将对相同的物体进行替代描述，以及对替代物体的相同描述。第一年的最后一项活动与扩大参与计算有关：将设计练习以吸引高中生的参与。第二年将研究设计标准的变化如何指导设计空间的探索。人类参与者将被置于两种条件之一中，以不同的方式处理标准的变化。第三年将通过实验来发现长期工作的工具如何提高设计师的生产力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。
