Design evolution management: A design methodology for representing and utilizing design rationale

Abstract

dc:description

"In conventional design practice, a detailed product description is the end-result of a design process. Usually these detailed product descriptions do not reveal their heritage from early-stage abstract product descriptions or the particular influence from different life-cycle perspectives. This ""missing"" information describing the multi-staged and multi-perspective design process is termed a design evolution."
