The dual nature of design management
2018
Design management profession has probably got the least attention in the construction industry. One reason could be the lack of explicit conceptualizations about its nature, subject matter and principles. In this article, a conceptual design management framework is proposed on the premise that design management is the management of a structured system of object and subject-oriented, technical and social design activities. Additionally, an example of a mediating visual model is proposed to facilitate the discussions about design activities and design management in academia and practice. The two major premises of this research are 1) as design management is the management of design activity, …
Design e valorizzazione della produzione locale
2011
Il testo esplora il tema del design per lo sviluppo locale, descrivendo un percorso di ricerca sul campo con l’esempio dello studio di un territorio siciliano. Lo studio, elaborato insieme con gli attori dello sviluppo territoriale (amministratori, Camera di Commercio, associazioni e imprenditori) della provincia di Ragusa, ha esplorato il rapporto tra il design e le risorse materiali e immateriali del territorio siciliano con l’obiettivo di sviluppare nuovi processi di produzione coerenti con il concetto di sostenibilità ambientale, per innovare e consentire una produzione sostenibile e costituire la base per un design “Made in Sicily”.
The supermarket of future
2020
As the last trends demonstrate, the supermarket of the near future will change face. Here, we will find only high-quality products, belonging to the category of ‘fresh’ and purchasable by smartphone. The packaged products, belonging to the category of ‘dry’, will be more conveniently purchasable on-line. Therefore, cash-registers and the areas before cash-registers will disappear at the entrance and the exit of supermarket. And most of physical space of the today supermarket will be useless. Here is the problem – nowadays the space ingeniously designed of the area before cash-register yields 30% of the whole profit of the supermarket, thank to the irrational buying. How will the supermarket…
Quando è design
2020
Quando è design è il titolo di un convegno che, per iniziativa di Paolo Fabbri, si è svolto nel Centro Internazionale di Semiotica dell’Università di Urbino nel settembre del 2018, e che abbiamo organizzato insieme a Dario Mangano con la collaborazione di Projekt (EA 7447), Laboratorio di ricerca in innovazione sociale attraverso il design dell’Università di Nîmes (Francia). Gli articoli presenti in questo numero di Ocula sono il risultato dell’evoluzione delle riflessioni della maggioranza dei relatori presenti al convegno anche in seguito agli scambi iniziati proprio in quell’occasione When is Design, we find those characteristics and values of “design culture” that regard design processe…
Incremental Accumulation of Information Systems Design Theory
2021
This paper proposes an organizing device for accumulation of information systems (IS) design theory components within a study but also across research studies. The proposed framework enables actors to understand the relationship over time between search spaces of information systems design science theory (ISDT) development by one and the same or different actors. The proposition rests on the notion that ISDT development is an iterative and incremental process that often happens across different research studies. Finally, we argue that with the proposed framework, ISDT knowledge is more easily transferred and combined with the search processes.
New digital trends in current architecture. A comprehensive critical examination
2017
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, which has contributed to the birth of new figurative trends. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent architectures which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation skills to control and manipulate form. We will also do an overview of these new architec…
Complete, Exact and Efficient Implementation for Computing the Adjacency Graph of an Arrangement of Quadrics
2007
The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com ; ISBN 978-3-540-75519-7 ; ISSN 0302-9743 (Print) 1611-3349 (Online); International audience; We present a complete, exact and efficient implementation to compute the adjacency graph of an arrangement of quadrics, \ie surfaces of algebraic degree~2. This is a major step towards the computation of the full 3D arrangement. We enhanced an implementation for an exact parameterization of the intersection curves of two quadrics, such that we can compute the exact parameter value for intersection points and from that the adjacency graph of the arrangement. Our implementation is {\em complete} in the sense that it can handle all kinds of…
Polyhedral results for a vehicle routing problem
1991
Abstract The Vehicle Routing Problem is a well known, and hard, combinatorial problem, whose polyhedral structure has deserved little attention. In this paper we consider the particular case in which all the demands are equal (since in the general case the associated polytope may be empty). From a known formulation of the problem we obtain the dimension of the corresponding polytope and we study the facetial properties of every inequality in it.
Discrete Mathematics in Lower School Grades? Situation and Possibilities in Italy
2017
This paper presents an overview of the Italian situation in teaching discrete mathematics in primary and middle school, taking into account the national teaching guidelines and their connection with the subject. We describe research conducted with about 150 teachers, interviewed in a preliminary questionnaire. The data collected shows, for all teaching grades, interest in having more discrete mathematics in the school curriculum even if there are some difficulties in teaching it and in inserting it in the usual mathematical activities at school, mostly related to teachers’ knowledge and self-confidence about the subject. We also discuss results and future plans for a continuing research pro…
A Probabilistic Approach to the Count-To-Infinity Problem in Distance-Vector Routing Algorithms
2013
Count-to-infinity problem is characteristic for routing algorithms based on the distributed implementation of the classical Bellman-Ford algorithm. In this paper a probabilistic solution to this problem is proposed. It is argued that by the use of a Bloom Filter added to the routing message the routing loops will with high probability not form. An experimental analysis of this solution for use in Wireless Sensor Networks in practice is also included.
