Book Description
We are studying and modeling creative design processes. Our goals are two-fold. One is to make intelligent, computer-based design assistants more creative (e.g., able to suggest unusual but useful solutions and to bring up important issues that might not have been considered otherwise). The other is to build computational models that help us understand human creativity. This will have implications for design education and suggest ways of enhancing the creativity of human designers. To gain insights into the knowledge and reasoning involved in creative design, we performed an exploratory study of student mechanical engineers engaged in a seven-week undergraduate design project. In this study, we observed a great deal of the design process, including informal team meetings (e.g., while choosing materials at a store) as well as official meetings. This has given us insights into the processes underlying many creative design activities, particularly the following. How designers generate multiple alternative views of a problem through situation assessment and reformulation. How problem constraints, evaluation criteria, and preferences gradually emerge or become refined as ideas are proposed and critiqued. How designers serendipitously recognize solutions to pending problems, often seeing new functions and purposes for common design pieces in the process.

Design as Democracy
Author: David de la PenaPublisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1610918479
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
How can we design places that fulfill urgent needs of the community, achieve environmental justice, and inspire long-term stewardship? By bringing community members to the table with designers to collectively create vibrant, important places in cities and neighborhoods. For decades, participatory design practices have helped enliven neighborhoods and promote cultural understanding. Yet, many designers still rely on the same techniques that were developed in the 1950s and 60s. These approaches offer predictability, but hold waning promise for addressing current and future design challenges. Design as Democracy is written to reinvigorate democratic design, providing inspiration, techniques, and case stories for a wide range of contexts. Edited by six leading practitioners and academics in the field of participatory design, with nearly 50 contributors from around the world, it offers fresh insights for creating meaningful dialogue between designers and communities and for transforming places with justice and democracy in mind.

Book Description
In 2008, the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate of the National Science Foundation asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct two workshops to explore the nature of computational thinking and its cognitive and educational implications. The first workshop focused on the scope and nature of computational thinking and on articulating what "computational thinking for everyone" might mean. A report of that workshop was released in January 2010. Drawing in part on the proceedings of that workshop, Report of a Workshop of Pedagogical Aspects of Computational Thinking, summarizes the second workshop, which was held February 4-5, 2010, in Washington, D.C., and focuses on pedagogical considerations for computational thinking. This workshop was structured to gather pedagogical inputs and insights from educators who have addressed computational thinking in their work with K-12 teachers and students. It illuminates different approaches to computational thinking and explores lessons learned and best practices. Individuals with a broad range of perspectives contributed to this report. Since the workshop was not intended to result in a consensus regarding the scope and nature of computational thinking, Report of a Workshop of Pedagogical Aspects of Computational Thinking does not contain findings or recommendations.

Case-Based Reasoning Technology
Author: Mario LenzPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540693513
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This state-of-the-art survey presents a coherent summary of research and development in case-based reasoning (CBR) undertaken in Germany in recent years. The book opens with a general introduction to CBR presenting the basic ideas and concepts, setting the terminology, and looking at CBR from some new points of view. The main part of the book, consisting of nine chapters, is devoted to detailed presentations of CBR applications successfully performed in various areas. Among these application areas are decision and sales support, text processing, adaptation, planning, design, software engineering, tutoring systems, and medicine. The remaining chapters present areas related to CBR as well as a glossary, a subject index and bibliography.
