The Engineering Design field is growing fast and so is growing the number of sub-fields that are bringing value to researchers that are working in this context. From psychology to neurosciences, from mathematics to machine learning, everyday scholars and practitioners produce new knowledge of potential interest for designers.This leads to complications in the researchers’ aims who want to quickly and easily find literature on a specific topic among a large number of scientific publications or want to effectively position a new research.In the present paper, we address this problem by using state of the art text mining techniques on a large corpus of Engineering Design related documents. In particular, a topic modelling technique is applied to all the papers published in the ICED proceedings from 2003 to 2017 (3,129 documents) in order to find the main subtopics of Engineering Design. Finally, we analyzed the trends of these topics over time, to give a bird-eye view of how the Engineering Design field is evolving.The results offer a clear and bottom-up picture of what Engineering design is and how the interest of researchers in different topics has changed over time.

“…Due to the evolutionary nature of design processes, integrity management of collaborative design often requires that the details of design history should be properly handled. In Goonetillake et al (2002), a hierarchical database architecture is adopted, which supports the collaborative nature of design. It separates private and shared work by means of global and local workspaces/databases, respectively, and provides enough flexibility for individual designers to work on their local databases while collaborating with other designers.…”

In collaborative designs that are either intracompany or intercompany, data security and integrity validation are two major concerns. Even though design views can be used effectively for access controls, view updates may cause violation of integrity constraints defined for the base designs. This article focuses on the validation of integrity constraints after view updates. Following standard for the exchange of product model data methodologies, information model is defined by EXPRESS and views are defined by EXPRESS-X. Shared design data are stored in a relational database system (e.g. Oracle 11g XE). The integrity constraints defined in EXPRESS schema are translated into UNIQUE and CHECK and triggers in SQL. Then, they are automatically validated after view updates. Because the paradigm presented in this article is based on open standards such as EXPRESS, EXPRESS-X, and SQL, it is independent from any proprietary system and suitable for collaborative design environments that consist of heterogeneous systems.

“…Unfortunately, an implicit constraint implementation does not support this design-by-contract principle [13]. (iii) Some systems might even be more demanding by requiring explicit runtime handling of integrity constraints, e.g., to support object versioning [6] or adaptive dependability by (temporarily) relaxing integrity requirements [5].…”

Integrity is a dependability attribute partially ensured through runtime validation of integrity constraints. A wide range of different constraint validation approaches exists-ranging from simple if conditions over explicit constraint validation methods and contract specifications to constraints as first class runtime entities of an application. However, increased support for explicitness and flexibility often comes at the price of increased performance costs. To address this issue, we contribute with an overview and evaluation of different constraint validation approaches for the Java programming language with respect to implementation, maintainability and performance. Our results show that the benefits of some of the more advanced approaches are certainly worth their costs by introducing a runtime overhead of only two to ten times the runtime of the fastest approach while other approaches introduce runtime overheads of more than 100, which might be simply too slow in certain applications.
