Design is a sequential decision process that increases the detail of modeling and analysis
while simultaneously decreasing the space of alternatives considered. In a decision …

Abstract Design can be viewed a sequential decision process that increases the detail of
modeling and analysis while simultaneously decreasing the space of alternatives …

Complex engineered systems rely heavily on simulation models for design. Designing such
systems typically involves a sequential decision process that increases the modeling and …

A promising approach to overcome the challenges of exploring a design solution space is to
employ Set-Based Design tightly coupled to Model-Based Systems Engineering, and to treat …

In an emerging paradigm, design is viewed as a sequential decision process (SDP) in which
mathematical models of increasing fidelity are used in a sequence to systematically contract …

In design, trade-offs are made between quality, cost and schedule. As the versatility of
design tools has increased, so has the difficulty of making these trade-offs. This is especially …

An emerging concept to overcome the challenges of exploring a large, complex and
expensive solution space such as with Department of Defense systems is to employ Set …

This paper presents the Hierarchical and Interactive Decision Refinement (HIDER)
methodology for engineering design. This methodology hierarchically refines (or reduces) a …

This paper presents a formal model of design as a sequential decision process. In the
process model, the design process takes discrete steps through a space defined by the …

This article describes an advance in design optimization that includes consumer purchasing
decisions. Decision-Based Design optimization commonly relies on Discrete Choice …
