Some Considerations on Openness of Design Information
نویسنده
چکیده
Towards a sustainable society, design of artifacts must be optimized with limited resources on the earth while keeping our life. In order to realize it, I emphasize openness of design information. In this paper, I discuss needs for openness of design information and methods to realize it. I argue why design information should be open and what benefits will result by opening and sharing design information. Opening design information looks difficult considering the current structure of the industries, but I show some possibilities from two aspects of design activities. In software design, open source software is getting accepted as a way of developing software products. I overview it and analyze how it can be applied to artifact design. Then I discuss how such an environment can be built. Identification, representation, and sharing mechanism are crucial. Lastly I summarize discussion with people in the design community. Many people disagree with opening design information, but I dispute with their objections.

Visual perception in design and robotics
Studies on human visual perception are described. The visual perception is mathematically modelled as a probabilistic process obtaining and interpreting visual information from an environment. By means of this model some other vision related concepts, such as visual attention and visual openness, are also mathematically defined. The theoretical considerations are implemented in three applicatio...
متن کاملBehavioral Considerations in Developing Web Information Systems: User-centered Design Agenda
The current paper explores designing a web information retrieval system regarding the searching behavior of users in real and everyday life. Designing an information system that is closely linked to human behavior is equally important for providers and the end users. From an Information Science point of view, four approaches in designing information retrieval systems were identified as system-...
متن کاملEffective Design of a 3×4 Two Dimensional Distributed Amplifier Based on Gate Line Considerations
In this paper two dimensional wave propagation is used for power combining in drain nodes of a distributed amplifier (DA). The proposed two dimensional DA uses an electrical funnel to add the currents of drain nodes. The proposed structure is modified due to gate lines considerations. Total gain improvement is achieved by engineering the characteristic impedance of gate lines and also make appr...
متن کاملOpenness of Information Resources - A Framework-based Comparison of Mobile Platforms
In the smartphone sector we are discerning a competition between Symbian, Apple, and Google for the dominating mobile platform. In the design of their mobile platforms and operating system these organizations use varying degrees of “openness” on different platform elements. We follow a design science approach to construct and apply a framework to better understand how these organizations vary t...
