“…Alloying of Cu with Zn to make brass was practiced soon after the discovery of Cu itself. For example, brass was used for musical instruments and timpani [37], which were widely used as palace musical instruments in ancient China. With the time passing by, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn used for pigments, wood preservation and brassware in CG would slowly transfer into the soils around through physicochemical reaction and erosion by rain and wind.…”

“…An interactive motion planning framework drives the interaction between users and automatic path planners [51]. Poirson et al [35] presented genetic algorithms for a user-centered design of products to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. Dilip et al [16] proposed an overall sentiment rating algorithm for customer sentiment appraisal from user-generated product reviews using opinion mining techniques.…”

Experience-based design is a recently emerging method used to capture the emotional content of customer experiences. Both the engineer's experiences and customer's experiences for dual experiences are important in delivering high quality user-centred product design. To assess dual experiential design optimization, fuzzy decision tree and fuzzy cognitive map are integrated in engineering design perspectives. This study aims at optimizing complex interactions and experiential design system with imprecise relationships while quantifying the performance impact of engineering design efficiency on customer satisfaction. The experiment is conducted by utilizing sensitivity analysis of the three degrees of fuzzy membership function using a product mix-experience problem. The evaluation results show that this dual experience-based design approach can help R&D design, deliver high quality product development experiences and co-create value with customers to yield a high performance engineering design.

“…A method in EC uses basically genetic algorithms (GA) [1,2], which were originally used to find solutions for complex optimization problems. For example, Poirson et al use GAs to optimize the design of a Corresponding author: bernard.yannou@ecp.fr brass musical instruments considering mathematical and perceptual objectives [3]. Taking the evolution in nature as paradigm, the GAs work on the basis of a population of individuals, where each individual represents a possible solution for the initial problem.…”

-So as to create innovative car silhouettes, we propose in this paper a model based on an Interactive Genetic Algorithm using an encoding of a design solution by a Fourier analysis approach. This model permits the designer to browse through generations of car profiles from an initial population of existing silhouettes. By qualitatively assessing each individual, the designer converges towards solutions complying with his/her requirements and preferences, possibly creating novelty and generating surprise. We describe here tests for assessing the efficiency of this innovative design platform. These tests are mainly based on a similarity index, a similarity measure being the perceived distance between two cars silhouettes. The results highlight a good convergence toward a satisfactory solution. In addition, this design process turns out to be very flexible because of the local and intuitive modifications allowed on a given individual solution at any moment of the design process.
