Advanced product development integration architecture: An out-of-box solution to support distributed production networks (2008)
Journal Article
Cheung, W., Matthews, P., Gao, J., & Maropoulos, P. (2008). Advanced product development integration architecture: An out-of-box solution to support distributed production networks. International Journal of Production Research, 46(12), 3185-3206. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207540601039767

This paper presents novel collaboration methods implemented using a centralised client/server product development integration architecture, and a decentralised peer-to-peer network for smaller and larger companies using open source solutions. The pro... Read More about Advanced product development integration architecture: An out-of-box solution to support distributed production networks.

A Bayesian support tool for morphological design (2008)
Journal Article
Matthews, P. (2008). A Bayesian support tool for morphological design. Advanced Engineering Informatics, 22(2), 236-253. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aei.2007.05.001

Dynamic computer based support tools for the conceptual design phase have provided a long-standing challenge to develop. This is largely due to the 'fluid' nature of the conceptual design phase. Design evaluation methods, which form the basis of most... Read More about A Bayesian support tool for morphological design.

Establishing agile supply networks through competence profiling (2008)
Journal Article
Armoutis, N., Maropoulos, P., Matthews, P., & Lomas, C. (2008). Establishing agile supply networks through competence profiling. International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 21(2), 166-173. https://doi.org/10.1080/09511920701607683

Concurrent engineering has been seen as the main means to respond to the increased complexity of engineering systems in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and defence. However, concurrent methods fail to respond to unpredicted events such as late... Read More about Establishing agile supply networks through competence profiling.
