Research of Tool-Coupling Based Electro-hydraulic System Development Method
2015
This paper introduces a new kind of tool-coupling based electro-hydraulic system development method including designing character-oriented electro-hydraulic system development and design procedure, co-simulation based system coupling strategy, client-server model management method. An integrated development platform is designed for co-simulation among AMESim, Matlab\Simulink, Flowmaster, Saber and Simplorer. The platform can manage each simulator’s models and co-simulation procedure. The result illustrates tool coupling based electro-hydraulic system development method can improve the efficiency of multi-team collaborative design for electro-hydraulic system and also can analyze and evaluat…
Innovation in collaborative design: an exploratory study in hackathon
2021
International audience; Collaborative design is the use of design practices which tend to favor the integration of different experts, and to support creativity and innovation. Therefore, in this study, we were particularly interested in the collaborative design tools used in the specific context of a pedagogical hackathon. During this event, 1310 engineering students mentored by professors and industrial experts worked on around 131 industrial projects. In this article, we will present our study of the tools put in place by the participants of these innovative projects according to their training. Our study is based on a collection of project data. We will show that storyboards are often us…
How to deal with context? A context-mapping tool for quality and safety in nursing homes and homecare (SAFE-LEAD Context)
2019
Abstract Objective The objective of this paper is to develop a context-mapping tool (SAFE-LEAD Context) adapted to the nursing home and homecare setting. These two contexts represent a substantial variability, but studies focusing on the types and roles of contextual factors in quality and safety in these care settings are lacking. Results We conducted a step-wise collaborative design process consisting of mapping of key contextual factors as perceived by managers in Norwegian nursing homes and homecare, then created a draft tool discussed in a consortium workshop with co-researchers, and ran an international cross-country comparison. The SAFE-LEAD Context tool is inspired by the Consolidat…
FROM A COLLABORATIVE DESIGNING OF STORYTELLING TO A ROBOTIC AND VIRTUAL WORLD REPRESENTATION
2012
This paper presents an experiential learning lab focused on building a digital storytelling using both robots with LEGO Mindstorms and virtual worlds with Kodu Game Lab. The experiential laboratory (32 hours) has involved 33 children of secondary schools in a collaborative learning setting in formal (school labs) and informal learning context (external cultural association). In a first phase of the activity children used Lego Mindstorm robotic kits, assembling them and creating a physical environment (pasterboard arenas) where robots were programmed for moving and taking actions. In a second phase children were invited to transfer the physical world built for robots in a new digital storyte…
Case study: developing campus spaces through co-creation
2016
ABSTRACTHigher education institutions are designed to support their core processes – learning, teaching, research, and societal impact. In order for university facilities to support these activities, it is crucial to determine together with the users what these activities are and how they are supposed to be developed in the future. This article examines the relationship between user needs and the service level in construction projects through a case study where a university cafeteria was renovated using a participatory design (PD) method called charrette. The aim of this case study was to study the effects of collaborative ways of working when applied to a space retrofit project, and how th…
Design and Culture of the Territory: Ecomuseo del Grano e del Pane in the Salemi Museum System
2019
The article deals with design experimentation in the complex and composite field of design for the culture of the territory, aimed at enhancing the particular resources common to the Mediterranean areas, through an incremental and collaborative design methodology. The town of Salemi (TP) inherited an extraordinary concentration of cultural heritage from its history; in particular the preparation and display of the decorated breads for the Festivity of San Giuseppe, occurring on March 19th, which expresses a profound religiosity and a complex rituality, shared, handed down and recognized as an intan- gible cultural asset to be protected. In this territorial context, a vision aimed at encour-…
Collaborative Design Rational and Social Creativity in Cultures of Participation
2011
The rise in social computing has facilitated a shift from consumer cultures, focused on producing finished media to be consumed passively, to cultures of participation, where people can access the means to participate actively in personally meaningful problems. These developments represent unique and fundamental opportunities and challenges for rethinking and reinventing design rationale and creativity, as people acclimate to taking part in computer-mediated conversations of issues and their solutions. Grounded in our long-term research exploring these topics, this paper articulates arguments, describes and discusses conceptual frameworks and system developments (in the context of three cas…
