In engineering design, there is a need for designers to have a good understanding of the design domain. This will typically take the form of some model of the domain. However, such models do not necessarily exist for the early stages of the design pr... Read More about The Application of Self Organizing Maps in Conceptual Design.

This paper introduces a novel method for analyzing conceptual design data. Given a database of previous designs, this method identifies relationships between design components within this database. Further, the method transforms these relationships i... Read More about The introduction of a design heuristics extraction method.
