  2. 1. Shaping thought through action : A study of the use and design of technical information

    Author : Jonatan Lundin; Yvonne Eriksson; Carina Söderlund; Inger Orre; Harald Schaub; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the design of technical information, such as a user manual for an industrial device, based on the searching and reading behaviour of process operators and maintenance technicians. Such industrial professionals, who use tools like measuring equipment, are sometimes unable to get the support they need from searching and reading in a text- and image-based tool manual in order to perform work tasks.

    Abstract : The overarching purpose of this thesis is to develop further knowledge of the consequences of relocating to Activity-based Flexible Offices (AFOs). As workspace design innovations, AFOs are increasingly implemented in organisations. AFOs comprise a variety of workspaces for employees to choose from depending on their preferences or activities.

  5. 3. On the Fundamentals of the Engineering Design Process

    Author : Damien Motte; Innovation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; systems theory; design theory; engineering design; product development; problem solving; creativity; machine design; maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : In an industrial context when the product development cycles are shortened and constraints on technical innovations are high, it is very important to provide a very efficient and effective engineering design activity. In the current engineering design literature, most methodologies are by and large based on the so-called systematic engineering design approach. READ MORE

  6. 4. Patterns and procedural content generation in digital games : automatic level generation for digital games using game design patterns

    Author : Steve Dahlskog; Pieter Spronck; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : Procedural Content Generation; Search-based; Genetic Algorithms; Digital Games; Design Patterns;

    Abstract : The development of content in digital games, such as game worlds, quests, levels, 3D-models, and textures, is costly and time consuming. To address this, different approaches to automate the process of creating game content, often referred to as procedural content generation (PCG), has been suggested. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring Game Design through Human-AI Collaboration

    Author : Alberto Alvarez; Jose Font; Julian Togelius; Steve Dahlskog; Nancy L Russo; Georgios N. Yannakakis; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Games; Human-AI Collaboration; Mixed-Initiative; Procedural Content Generation; Quality Diversity; Computational Creativity; Interaktionsdesign; Interaktionsdesign;

    Abstract : Game design is a hard and multi-faceted task that intertwines different gameplay mechanics, audio, level, graphic, and narrative facets. Games' facets are developed in conjunction with others with a common goal that makes games coherent and interesting. READ MORE
