AbstractSelf-Assembly is a powerful autopoietic mechanism ubiquitous throughout the natural world. It may be found at the molecular scale and also at astronomical scales. Self-asse...
atterns specify generic relations among abstract design elements. We hypothesize that design patterns are productive units of analogical transfer in design. We describe a normativ...
We describe race-free properties of a hardware description language called GEZEL. The language describes networks of cycle-true finite-state-machines with datapaths (FSMDs). We de...

We elaborate a proposal for capturing, extending, and reusing design knowledge gleaned through usability testing. The proposal is specifically targeted to address interface design...

Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
