Computer Engineering supervised the project. CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access, is a communications method commonly used in wireless applications. This project involves designing the fundamental keys that allow encoding and decoding for CDMA, called spreading sequences. The design problem involved three deliverables. The first, I require a mathematical model of a CDMA channel in order to d...

This paper describes tools, concepts and workflow used to develop AtFAB, a digitally fabricated, customizable furniture system, and apprehensible model for employing simplicity, interconnectivity and adaptability in architecture. The investigation deploys parametric modelling, interaction design, and digital fabrication to develop a multi-agent system that recasts the roles of designers, users ...

In this paper we describe how explicit models of design processes can be used to guide and control distributed development of complex systems. The paper focuses on techniques which automatically infer dependencies between decisions from a process model and methods which allow to integrate planning and execution steps. Managing dependencies between decisions is a basis for improving the traceabi...

Modern engineering industry is relying more and more on the use of knowledge in product development. This paper advocates design repositories as a natural progression from traditional design databases to systems that are created to more actively support knowledge-based design. In contrast to traditional design databases, design repositories serve not only as archives, but as repositories of het...
