A Methodology for Negotiating Change Propagation in Agile Design. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Matthews, P., Lomas, C., & Maropoulos, P. (2006, August). A Methodology for Negotiating Change Propagation in Agile Design. Presented at 9th International Conference on Agile Manufacture, Norfolk, VA (USA)

Modern design projects are typically undertaken concurrently in a virtual enterprise network of expert design and manufacture agents. The general need for agile response in turbulent environments is well documented and has been analysed at the manufa...

Learning inexpensive parametric design models using an augmented genetic programming technique (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, P., Standingford, D., Holden, C., & Wallace, K. (2006). Learning inexpensive parametric design models using an augmented genetic programming technique. Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, 20(1), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1017/s089006040606001x

Previous applications of Genetic Programming (GP) have been restricted to searching for algebraic approximations mapping the design parameters (e.g. geometrical parameters) to a single design objective (e.g. weight). In addition, these algebraic expr... Read More about Learning inexpensive parametric design models using an augmented genetic programming technique.

Development of a simple information pump (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Matthews, P., Keegan, J., & Robson, J. (2005, August). Development of a simple information pump. Presented at 15th International Conference on Engineering Design, Melbourne, Australia

The Information Pump (IP) is a methodology that aims to counter the problems arising from traditional subjective product data collection. The IP is a game theory based process that aims to maximise information extracted from a panel of subjects, whil... Read More about Development of a simple information pump.

Machine learning stochastic design models (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Matthews, P. (2005, August). Machine learning stochastic design models. Presented at 15th International Conference on Engineering Design, Melbourne, Australia

Due to the fluid nature of the early stages of the design process, it is difficult to obtain deterministic product design evaluations. This is primarily due to the flexibility of the design at this stage, namely that there can be multiple interpretat... Read More about Machine learning stochastic design models.

Using Self Organizing Maps as a Design Exploration Tool (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Matthews, P., & Wallace, K. (2003, August). Using Self Organizing Maps as a Design Exploration Tool. Presented at 14th International Conference on Engineering Design, Stockholm

The Application of Self Organizing Maps in Conceptual Design (2002)
Thesis
Matthews, P. (2002). The Application of Self Organizing Maps in Conceptual Design. (Thesis). Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Retrieved from https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1642231

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.

The introduction of a design heuristics extraction method (2002)
Journal Article
Matthews, P., Blessing, L., & Wallace, K. (2002). The introduction of a design heuristics extraction method. Advanced Engineering Informatics, 16(1), 3-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1474-0346%2802%2900002-2

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.
