Designing Microworlds: A Perspectival Approach to Product and Process Development

建议编号：SES 00-85189主要调查者：Farrokh Mistre这个探索性研究的小资助项目提出了一项关于设计微观世界及其在协作设计过程中的整合的研究。为设计确定可重复使用的资产；探索设计视角，就像在发现之旅中一样；在企业内同时设计产品和过程；有效地管理设计知识、抽象和协同设计过程中的自由；创建自动化、分布式设计的框架；以及建立工程设计教学的新方法。在理论上，该努力提出将生命系统理论、工作原理和工作相结合。预期的交付成果是一个完整的正式提案，旨在为设计微型世界制定基本原则，以支持信息驱动的、分布式的、与工程相关的企业中的人类推理和判断。

AbstractProposal Number: SES 00-85189Principal Investigator: Farrokh MistreeThis Small Grant for Exploratory Research project proposes a study of design microworlds and their integration in the process of collaborative design efforts. Identifying reusable assets for design; exploring design perspectives as if on a voyage of discovery; designing products and processes concurrently within an enterprise; effectively managing design knowledge, abstractions and freedom within the collaborative design process; creating a framework for automated, distributed design; and establishing a new approach to engineering design pedagogy are the principle issues to be explored. Theoretically, the effort proposes to integrate living systems theory, working principles and working. The intended deliverable is a full formal proposal to develop the foundational principles for designing microworlds that support human reasoning and judgment in an information-driven, distributed, engineering-related enterprise.
