Guiding System

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) embodies a set of principles including service abstraction, composability, discoverability, and reusability, among others. Although these principles are widely circulated by SOA technology vendors, there have been few efforts to collect, organize, and elaborate on these principles for the purpose of guiding system design. This chapter explores how service-oriented design principles can be organized in a goal-graph representation complementary to original text and used in system design. The approach builds upon the NFR framework for treating non-functional requirements in software engineering. The chapter proposes a method to extract SOA design principles from textually represented service-oriented knowledge sources. The method is applied to an SOA knowledge source, extract an SOA design knowledge-base organized by design principles and presented by goal-graphs, and the chapter then explores application of such knowledge-base.

Design Ideas

Abstract This paper maintains that there should be a science of functional design, based upon all the design ideas developed by engineers and others over the centuries, ordered, generalised and combined into a coherent system. It sketches some ways in which such an ordered system of design knowledge might be built up, the study of design principles (such as kinematic design), systematic invention by the study of known means, and the study of limits.

Synthetic Microbial Communities

Microbial communities drive diverse processes that impact nearly everything on this planet, from global biogeochemical cycles to human health. Harnessing the power of these microorganisms could provide solutions to many of the challenges that face society. However, naturally occurring microbial communities are not optimized for anthropogenic use. An emerging area of research is focusing on engineering synthetic microbial communities to carry out predefined functions. Microbial community engineers are applying design principles like top-down and bottom-up approaches to create synthetic microbial communities having a myriad of real-life applications in health care, disease prevention, and environmental remediation. Multiple genetic engineering tools and delivery approaches can be used to ‘knock-in' new gene functions into microbial communities. A systematic study of the microbial interactions, community assembling principles, and engineering tools are necessary for us to understand the microbial community and to better utilize them. Continued analysis and effort are required to further the current and potential applications of synthetic microbial communities.

Design Innovation

The transformation of China's design innovation industry has highlighted the importance of design research. The design research process in practice can be regarded as the process of knowledge production. The design 3.0 mode based on knowledge production MODE2 has been shown in the Chinese design innovation industry. On this cognition, this paper establishes a map with two dimensions of how knowledge integration occurs in practice based design research, which are the design knowledge transfer and contextual transformation of design knowledge. We use this map to carry out the analysis of design research cases. Through the analysis, we define four typical practice based design research models from the viewpoint of knowledge integration. This method and the proposed model can provide a theoretical basis and a path for better management design research projects.
