For designers, attempting to respond to unknown design spaces can be a daunting task. This paper describes a series of workshops that presented rapid ethnographic design methods in city streets as a way of exploring human behaviours, and recording their traces. One instance of the workshop is described in detail to highlight the connections between the data gathering and the concept generation ...

Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Virtual Team Spaces (VTS), eine Kollaborationslösung der BMW Group zur Unterstützung von verteilten Entwicklungsprojekten.

Much of the discussion about shape representation during the last two decades was fundamentally related to questions about the representation of parts. Inspired by the cognitive processes governing how people represent and think about parts, we give a brief summary of our framework for representing part structures. In particular, we are interested in the role of similarity and prototype e↵ects ...

Cognitive approaches to knowledge representation improve man-machine communication, as they are close to human reasoning. Conceptual spaces have been proposed as one such knowledge formalization method. Our research investigates the theory of conceptual spaces as a methodology for implementing semantic reference systems. Conceptual spaces are spanned by quality dimensions. Concepts are represen...

in this paper, we prove the generalized hyers-ulam stability of the quadratic functionalequation$$f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)+2f(y)$$in non-archimedean $mathcal{l}$-fuzzy normed spaces.

From long ago, square has been considered as a space for performing area of cities, and it has been a factor determining the identity of cities through its design and structures. However, with the growth of cities and arrival of modernity management challenges are facing cities. Accordingly, cities have gradually changed into a place for predicting different types of technological, conceptual...
