The trend of large-scale development of design industry requires efficient and full use of the rich design resources in the distributed multi-disciplinary resource environment. However, the designers are susceptible to many subjective and objective impacts, like knowledge structure, computing capability, geographic position, and administrative division. These impacts make the usage of design resources unstable and inefficient. Therefore, this paper proposed a computer-assisted automatic conceptual design system (CACDS). This system assumes that the design resources in the distributed multi-disciplinary resource environment exist in the form of functional elements with the same format, so that, the geographic, administrative, and disciplinary barriers in the design process can be broken, and the design resources can be fully used. CACDS is based on a group of basic concepts and their representations, its core is a functional solution generating algorithm, which is used to automatically generate functional solutions. As the result of the conceptual design, these functional solutions are also the starting point of the following detail design phase. Finally, a lighting system for underground greenhouse is designed as an illustrative case to validate the feasibility of the proposed CACDS.

Computer Assisted Design

This paper discusses a computer-assisted design system that makes use of multiple windowing, and its implementation f or typeface design. The system assigns each of five levels in the design task to a separate window, and allows the effect of changes made at any level to be seen in the other windows. The system is designed to be acceptable to designers and to avoid inhibiting their creativity.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a system to design a bulletproof pad for chest protection using three-dimensional body scan data. Design/methodology/approach Body data were divided into arbitrary number of groups based on the standard normal distribution theory, considering the width and height of the upper body. Several parameters were used to define the cover area of the bulletproof pad, and the shape of this area of each model in a group was averaged to generate the standard bulletproof pad model for that group. Findings It is possible to use three-dimensional body scan data in the design process of a mass-customized bulletproof pad for chest protection. Practical implications It is expected that it would be possible to design not only bulletproof pad but also many kinds of body-related products that need to reflect the shape of body using the methodology developed in this study. Social implications Using this system, the mass customization of special garments and equipment would be possible, which will improve the wearers’ comfort and work efficiency. Originality/value Three-dimensional body measurement, parametric definition of cover area and user interface for shape modification developed in this study will facilitate the consumer-oriented product design.

Design Ideas

This paper describes a modification method which strengthens forms for deriving diverse design solutions in structural design. In the early process of design, diverse design ideas are generated from a global solution search under unclear design conditions. In the past study, we have proposed the emergent design system, which allows a global solution search under limited design conditions to derive diverse design solutions. The proposed system derives geometrically novel in forms, but most of them do not satisfy the evaluation standard so that they are not applicable as solutions. Therefore, if we can modify these forms to applicable solutions, the diversity of applicable solutions would increase. In this paper, we propose a modification method which satisfies the evaluation standard by increasing and decreasing elements, and show the possibility of increasing the diversity of solutions.

Assisted Instruction

The primary objective of this article is to discuss the role of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) at the undergraduate level via a survey of related literature and specific applications. CAI shares many features with other instructional modes, such as traditional classrooms and programmed instruction (PI). Many characteristics of learners affect their ability to learn and acquire new knowledge. An individual's subject-specific knowledge and general knowledge both affect comprehension. With regard to instructional design, system approaches are sometimes referred to as instructional development systems (IDS). An IDS embraces several major categories. These include a statement of goals, analysis, development of instruction, and evaluation and revision. General statements on CAI can be divided into the following areas: requirements, potential benefits, state of the art, problems, CAI as a factor in society, the roles of industry, education, and government, including the role of teacher. At least two educational requirements make CAI inevitable, i.e., the trend to individualized instruction and the growth in information to be acquired. Data processing and computer science involve the teaching of computer skills in relative isolation from other disciplines. Hence, the computer is the principal subject. Student problem solving and research is where the computer is used as a tool in some field outside computer science. A specific sphere of application is the subject. This article will relate these categories as they apply to an introductory computer concepts course taught at the undergraduate level. Another phase of this course is that it is accounting-oriented.
