“…Shai and Reich (Reich and Shai 2012;Shai and Reich 2004) developed approaches to analogical retrieval of knowledge structures and processes that allow the use of across domains. A system was developed by Ahmed for helping designers to index and build a knowledge network based on engineering designer queries, which generates associations between concepts, with the end goal of aiding in the search for information, reformulation of a query, and prompting design tasks (Ahmed 2005).…”

Design-by-analogy is a growing field of study and practice, due to its power to augment and extend traditional concept generation methods by expanding the set of generated ideas using similarity relationships from solutions to analogous problems. This paper presents the results of experimentally testing a new method for extracting functional analogies from general data sources, such as patent databases, to assist designers in systematically seeking and identifying analogies. In summary, the approach produces significantly improved results on the novelty of solutions generated and no significant change in the total quantity of solutions generated. Computationally, this design-by-analogy facilitation methodology uses a novel functional vector space representation to quantify the functional similarity between represented design problems and, in this case, patent descriptions of products. The mapping of the patents into the functional analogous words enables the generation of functionally relevant novel ideas that can be customized in various ways. Overall, this approach provides functionally relevant novel sources of design-byanalogy inspiration to designers and design teams.

“…Following the Vitruvius approach, one of the earliest drive at systematizing design was undertaken in the first conference on Systematic Design Methods in 1960s as in the method of analysis, synthesis and evaluation (ASE) (Jones and Thornley 1963). These efforts were further elaborated as theory of technical systems (Hubka and Eder 1988) and its more recent advances, FBS (Gero 1990;Dorst and Vermaas 2005), General Design Theory (Yoshikawa 1981;Reich 1995), Axiomatic Design (Suh 1990), Coupled Design Process (Braha andReich 2003), Infused Design (Shai and Reich 2004) or C-K theory (Hatchuel and Weil 2009 Moreover, the efforts towards unity of the field are continuously shaken by changing paradigms in the analysis of design. In the 1960s-1970s, the temptation was to assimilate design to decision science, cybernetics and information theory-one major attempt was made by Simon.…”

Over the last few years there have been important efforts to improve the rigor, unity and operationality of Design theories. This work builds on the multiple (but scattered) theoretical proposals in recent decades: General Design Theory and Axiomatic Design in the 80s, Coupled Design Process in the 90s, Infused Design and C-K Theory in the 2000s. These theories echoed issues in practices (e.g., new design tools, innovative design) and the advancements of other sciences (e.g., artificial intelligence, set theory, engineering sciences). They contributed to ground a research community that has been reinvigorated by several initiatives.1 Parallel to this effort, design theory is being debated in other disciplines such as information systems, management studies and industrial design following the flourishing of design thinking in these areas. This special issue was launched to gain better understanding of the early efforts in design theory, as well as showcasing promising contemporary research in design theory.A public call for papers (CFP) was published that attracted 19 submissions ranging from various aspects of design methods to values in engineering design including those addressed design theory directly. After an extensive review process we choose those papers that addressed directly Design theory as their primary object of inquiry. Submissions were handled by the guest editors and submissions whose authors were guest editors were handled directly by the journal Editor-in-Chief. Recommendations of the guest editors passed through the Editor-in-Chief to make sure that the stringent standards of the journal are enforced on the special issue. Six papers have been accepted following this review process.Of course such an issue cannot be exhaustive-it should be seen as a first attempt, to be followed and augmented by other publications. Nevertheless, the critical ambition of this issue is to better identify the object of design theory and to begin to overcome shortcomings of their current conceptions.

“…In the limited literature about fuzzy collaborative intelligence and systems, Shai and Reich [20,21] defined the concept of infused design as an approach for establishing effective collaboration between designers from different engineering fields. Büyüközkan and Vardaloǧlu [22] applied the fuzzy cognitive map method to the collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) of a supply chain.…”

A Fuzzy Collaborative Forecasting Approach for Forecasting the Productivity of a Factory

Productivity is always considered as one of the most basic and important factors to the competitiveness of a factory. For this reason, all factories have sought to enhance productivity. To achieve this goal, we first need to estimate the productivity. However, there is considerable degree of uncertainty in productivity. For this reason, a fuzzy collaborative forecasting approach is proposed in this study to forecast the productivity of a factory. First, a learning model is established to estimate the future productivity. Subsequently, the learning model is converted into three equivalent nonlinear programming problems to be solved from various viewpoints. The fuzzy productivity forecasts by different experts may not be equal and should therefore be aggregated. To this end, the fuzzy intersection and back propagation network approach is applied. The practical example of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) factory is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
