• Notes on the FBS framework.
• How does modular design fit into my overall design process?
• IDEA is a system for conducting concept design.
• Pattern languages in design engineering, and their application to best practices.
• Design schematics for information visualization in the early stages of design and product development.
  • Tcl map is a small concept mapping tool written in Tcl/Tk to test drive ideas for design schematics.
• Interval-based methods applied to concept generation and evaluation.
• Concept maps in design.
• Morphological analysis.
• Achieving balance is, I think, a better perspective on design than is problem solving.
• Effectiveness versus efficiency as fundamental drivers of design.
• Boundaries of designing is a project to see where the act of designing becomes something else; it's an approach to defining designing by first defining what it's not.
• Products as transformers, an approach to structuring design processes based on treating products as transformers of their inputs to outputs.
• Function modelling, to better understand the transition between reasoning about function and behaviour, and reasoning about form & shape.
• Systems thinking on design, analysis, and validation.
• Product lifecycle management deals with the interface between IT, management, and engineering.
• Analogical reasoning is, I think, foundational to “creativity” and innovation in design.
• Innovation in design.
• Reflection: the capacity of a person to think about self and the self's actions in a broader context.
• Problem analysis: a generalization of design briefs and requirements engineering, problem analysis involves identifying a problem and framing it in a way to which all agents agree.
• Design thesaurus is a project intended to try to capture similar ideas about design in an informal way.
• Quasi-natural language is an idea to develop a kind of structured english for design.
