Design Systems Group: knowledge models for design and engineering (2005-2010)

Abstract

The Design Systems chair of the Eindhoven University of Technology has two main lines of research, namely: (1) Product and Process modeling and (2) Simulation of Human Behavior in the Built Environment. In the period 2005 – 2010 three PhD’s defended their thesis and 11 students received their Masters title within the chair. Seventeen journal papers were published through scientific journals and many projects were undertaken in collaborations with industry. The Designs Systems group’s expertise has focused on knowledge modeling as a common ground for design and engineering research. The most frequent applications of knowledge models are: simulation and communication
