Modern product development often involves complex analyses from multiple disciplines, consideration from product life-cycle aspects, making
difficult trade-off decisions, and in the meantime achieving optimal
product design at the lowest costs and in the shortest time. To
systematically integrate various design perspectives to achieve the
optimal design is a very challenging task. Such integration and
optimization capability is yet in great demand and could significantly
benefit all manufacturing industries.
Design space exploration and optimization is an important and often
necessary step in product development. Research in this area has yielded many promising approaches and strategies. This special issue of IJPD aims at presenting the state-of-the-art in this area, and promoting further research in order to provide engineers with practical tools supporting integration and optimization. This issue will focus on theories and methods on design space, space exploration, design evaluation, and design optimization.
Potential readers to be addressed by this special issue are scientists in
the fields of design optimization, decision-based design, and design
automation, as well as product development engineers and executives in
manufacturing industries.
Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to :
* Design space exploration and visualization
* Theory of high dimensional design space
* Pareto sets representation and exploration
* Optimization methods based on approximation or metamodeling of performances
* Multiobjective optimization
* Sampling methods for approximation and optimization
* Innovative optimization methods for conceptual and detailed design
* High dimensional and large space metamodeling of performances
* Design under uncertainty, probabilistic design
* Design evaluation or decision-based design
* Multi-disciplinary design optimization
* Topological/architectural and/or dimensional optimization
* Related tool or commercial software development
* Applications of space exploration and optimization methods in
industry
