...Abstract Abstract Design-by-Analogy (DbA) is a design methodology that draws inspiration from a source domain to a target domain to generate new solutions to problems or designs, which can benefit designers in mitigating design fixation and improving design ideation outcomes. Recently...

... a powerful approach, BID faces a practical limitations as a multi-disciplinary practice,. The skills and This provides a key step in the design-by-analogy process: training required to identify desirable features in natural systems are different than those required to identify technical problems Identifying...

... Abstract In this paper a quantitative measure for design-by-analogy is developed. This measure is based on the functional similarity of products. By using this product similarity measure, designers are able to formalize and quantify design-by-analogy techniques during concept and layout design...

... 09 06 2008 Design-by-analogy is well-recognized for its power in innovation processes. This paper presents experimental results showing the representation of a product in a person’s memory influences the person’s ability to later use the product for a design analogy. Representation has...
