Modeling Complex Behavior Simply with Embedded System Engineering
(2000)Newton’s second law as written appears simple, but how to use the law perceptually is a complex task. Most of the cases it is good for conceptual discussion or development. Normally the sign convention is not shown and ... -
Organizational Languages
(2003-11-11)The paper is concerned with communication within a team of players trying to coordinate in response to information dispersed among them. The problem is nontrivial because they cannot communicate all information instantaneously, ... -
Product Concept Metrics: a Preliminary Study Working Paper
(2001-07)Metrics for product concept evaluation and screening is a relatively unstudied topic of product development. Having a clearly documented set of metrics for concept screening decisions is a prerequisite for an educated and ... -
Product Development Processes, Three Vectors Of Improvement
(2003)Product Development Processes have achieved a state of some maturity in recent years, but have focused primarily on structuring technical activities from the initiation of development to launch. We advocate major advances ... -
Surviving the Gales of Creative Destruction: The Patterns of Innovative Activity in the Desktop Laser Printer Industry
(2000-07-14)In this paper, we examine the product life cycle in the desktop laser printer industry, from its inception in 1984 through 1996. During this time, the industry experienced a significant degree of innovation, as well as an ... -
Towards a Theory of Complicatedness: Framework for Complex Systems Analysis and Design
(2001-08)Global, dynamic, and competitive business environment has increased the complexity in product, service, operational processes and human side. Much engineering effort goes into reducing systems complexity. We argue that ... -
Transferring, Translating and Transforming: An Integrative Framework
