  2. 21. Exploring the intersection of design, reflection and sustainable food shopping practices : The case of the EcoPanel

    Author : Ulrica Bohné; Cecilia Katzeff; Minna Räsänen; Teo Enlund; Pelle Ehn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Design; reflection; sustainable food shopping practices; social practice theory; research through design; web application prototype; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

    Abstract : Food production has been shown to have considerable negative impacts on the environment. A means to reduce this is to choose organic products when shopping for food. READ MORE

  4. 22. System Design for DSP Applications with the MASIC Methodology

    Author : Abhijit Kumar Deb; KTH; []
    Keywords : System design methodology; Signal processing systems; Design decision; Communication; Computation; Model development; Transaction level model; System design language; Grammar; MASIC.;

    Abstract : The difficulties of system design are persistentlyincreasing due to the integration of more functionality on asystem, time-to-market pressure, productivity gap, andperformance requirements. To address the system designproblems, design methodologies build system models at higherabstraction level. READ MORE

  5. 23. On conceptual design reliability : an approach for identification of potential failures

    Author : Micael Derelöv; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Conceptual Design; Potential Failure; Evaluation; Reliability; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis is the result of research in the area of Evaluation and Decision-Making in the Design Process. It examines how to support and facilitate the evaluation activities in the design process in order to create a more solid foundation on which to base design decisions. READ MORE

  6. 24. Voices in design : argumentation in participatory development

    Author : Cecilia Sjöberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The focus in this thesis lies on methods used to support the early phases in the information system design process. The main perspective emanates from the ”Scandinavian” approach to systems development and Participatory Design. READ MORE

  7. 25. Life Cycle Energy Optimisation: A multidisciplinary engineering design optimisation framework for sustainable vehicle development

    Author : Hamza Bouchouireb; Ciarán J. O'Reilly; Peter Göransson; Rupert J. Baumgartner; José Potting; Mario Hirz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life cycle energy optimisation; Multidisciplinary optimisation; Integrative design; Sustainable vehicle design; Functional conflicts; Vehicle aerodynamics; Battery energy storage systems; Robust design; Uncertainty propagation; Livscykelenergi; Fordonsdesign; Optimering; Tvär-funktionella konflikter; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis explores how the systemic-level environmental footprint of light-duty vehicles could be reduced through integrative design using the Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology. This methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle; while complying with a set of functional constraints, thereby avoiding any sub-optimal energy demand shifts between the vehicle's different life cycle phases.
