Viewpoints and Views in Engineering Change Management (2009)

René Keller, Claudia M. Eckert, P. John Clarkson

Abstract: Visualising connectivity and change propagation in complex products is difficult, but nevertheless is a key for successful design. Several stakeholders, such as designers, managers and...

General Terms (2009)

Joy Goodman-deane, Patrick M Langdon, P John Clarkson, Nicholas Hm Caldwell, Ahmed M Sarhan

This paper describes a software tool that demonstrates the effects of common vision and hearing impairments on image and sound files. This helps designers to understand and empathise with the...

Designing better medicines delivery in the UK National Health Services (NHS) (2009)

Tabassum Jafri, P.John Clarkson

BackgroundPrescribed medicines are delivered through a variety ofroutes to patients in the UK National Health Service (NHS)and are regulated by a host of health and trade relatedpolicy and law. These...

Representing Artefacts as Media: Modelling the Relationship Between Designer Intent and Consumer Experience (2008)

Nathan Crilly; University Of Cambridge, Anja Maier; University Of Cambridge, P John Clarkson; University Of Cambridge

The design literature contains many diagrammatic models that represent the relationship between how designers intend artefacts to be experienced and how they are subsequently experienced by...

Involving People with Disabilities: Lessons from a Designer-Centred Inclusive Design Competition (2008)

Joy Goodman, Engineering Design Centre, Julia Cassim, Helen Hamlyn Centre, Patrick Langdon, ...

Involving end-users can make a real difference in producing products and designs that actually meet their needs and wants. This is particularly important when it comes to older and disabled users,...

Abstracting Complexity for Design Planning (2008)

David Wynn, Claudia Eckert, P John Clarkson

Abstract: This short paper is based on research carried out during an eight month case study at a large UK aerospace company. The focus of the study was to develop a more effective technique for...

Formats for User Data in Inclusive Design (2008)

Joy Goodman, Patrick Langdon, P John Clarkson

Abstract. Although information about users is vitally important in inclusive design, its use is often limited. The literature suggests that this is, at least in part, due to the ways in which the...

INDUSTRY RESPONSE TO INCLUSIVE DESIGN: A SURVEY (2008)

Joy Goodman, Patrick Langdon, P John Clarkson, Hua Dong

Inclusive design (ID), that is, design for a wide range of potential users, including those who are older or have disabilities, can have significant commercial benefits, tapping into a large and...

MODELLING ITERATION IN ENGINEERING DESIGN (2008)

David C. Wynn, Claudia M. Eckert, P. John Clarkson

This paper examines design iteration and its modelling in the simulation of New Product Development (NPD) processes. A framework comprising six perspectives of iteration is proposed and it is argued...

PRODUCT MODELS IN DESIGN: A COMBINED USE OF TWO MODELS TO ASSESS CHANGE RISKS (2008)

René Keller, Thomas Alink, Christian Pfeifer, Claudia M. Eckert, P. John Clarkson, Albert Albers

When designing complex products such as robots or jet engines, companies face the problem that designers lack the necessary tools to predict the behaviour of the product in the case of component...

The Effect of Multiple Haptic Distractors on the Performance of Motion-impaired Users (2008)

Faustina Hwang, Patrick Langdon, Simeon Keates, P John Clarkson

Abstract. The effect of multiple haptic distractors on target selection performance was examined in terms of times to select the target and the associated cursor movement patterns. Two experiments...

Cognitive Scales and Mental Models for Inclusive Design (2008)

Umesh Persad, Patrick Langdon, P John Clarkson, David Brown

Abstract. In keeping with a user capability and product demand approach to product assessment, this paper examines the cognitive demands placed on users when interacting with consumer products. The...

Planning Business Processes in Product Development (2007)

David Wynn, Claudia Eckert, P John Clarkson

Abstract. Business processes are difficult to plan successfully, and become more so with increases in complexity. However, certain types of business process are known to be more difficult to plan...

Supporting change processes in design: Complexity, prediction and reliability (2006)

Eckert, Claudia M., Keller, Rene, Earl, Chris, Clarkson, P. John

Change to existing products is fundamental to design processes. New products are often designed through change or modification to existing products. Specific parts or subsystems are changed to...

Risk across design domains (2005)

Eckert, Claudia, Earl, Christopher, Stacey, Martin, Bucciarelli, Louis L., Clarkson, P. John

Design processes involve risk: to life and limb if the product is unsafe, to the financial health of the company if the product is late, unsuccessful or simply the wrong product, as well as to the...

Multiple haptic targets for motion-impaired users (2003)

Faustina Hwang, Simeon Keates, Patrick Langdon, P John Clarkson

Although a number of studies have reported that force feedback gravity wells can improve performance in “pointand-click” tasks, there have been few studies addressing issues surrounding the use...

Investigating haptic assistive interfaces for motion-impaired users: Force-channels and competitive attractive-basins (2002)

Patrick Langdon, Faustina Hwang, Simeon Keates, P John Clarkson

Following a pilot study that suggested that force-feedback gravity wells could, under certain conditions, lead to 20-50 % improvements in time to target in a selection task, a series of experiments...

Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users (2001)

Faustina Hwang, Simeon Keates, Patrick Langdon, P John Clarkson

For people with motion impairments, access to and independent control of a computer can be essential. Symptoms such as tremor and spasm, however, can make the typical keyboard and mouse arrangement...

Signposting: An AI approach to supporting human decision making (2000)

Martin Stacey, P John Clarkson, Claudia Eckert
