Center for e-Design Proposal #1127609Proposal #1127664This proposal seeks funding for the Center for e-Design sites at the University of Massachusetts and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 10-601. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. The design process typically entails generation of numerous design alternatives followed by reduction of these by virtue of application of different criteria. Ongoing application of computing tools to create an entirely electronic process for e-design have been enabling but can have the effect of saturating the process with numerous alternatives. The proposed work seeks to bring together researchers in the psychological theory of innovation, computer science and human computer interaction to transform the innovative process of design from one which is ad hoc to a more systematic search through the space of features. The effort aims to implement the resulting strategies in a semantic framework leveraging the concepts from visual perception, cognition and human computer interfaces that will allow visualization on the part of the designer of the most promising features for each specific design case.The proposed research has the potential to enable e-design tools to overcome current limitations and improve the process and outcomes of design while at the same time providing insights into the process of human innovation. Both, if successful, could significantly improve design efficiency resulting in cost savings and reduction of time to market. The work is supported by individual industry members of the center and has the potential to extend the portfolio of the center by virtue of the major innovation in e-design tools enabled by integration of cognitive principles. Both inside and outside the center, the impact on design education and execution has the potential for broad impact in the engineering community.

电子设计中心提案＃1127609 Propopals＃1127664 This Tumosal为马萨诸塞大学和弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的电子设计中心寻求资金。 NSF批准的招标（NSF）10-601授权进行基础研究的资金请求。 该招标邀请I/UCRC提交建议，以支持行业定义的基础研究。设计过程通常需要生成众多设计替代方案，然后通过应用不同的标准来减少这些替代方案。 正在进行的计算工具为创建电子设计的完全电子过程的应用已启用，但可以通过众多替代方案使该过程饱和。 拟议的工作旨在将研究人员汇集到创新，计算机科学和人类计算机互动的心理理论中，以将创新的设计过程从一个临时搜索到更系统的搜索。 The effort aims to implement the resulting strategies in a semantic framework leveraging the concepts from visual perception, cognition and human computer interfaces that will allow visualization on the part of the designer of the most promising features for each specific design case.The proposed research has the potential to enable e-design tools to overcome current limitations and improve the process and outcomes of design while at the same time providing insights into the process of human innovation. 如果成功的话，两者都可以显着提高设计效率，从而节省成本和减少上市时间。这项工作得到了该中心的个别行业成员的支持，并且有可能通过集成认知原则来启用的电子设计工具中的主要创新来扩展中心的投资组合。在中心内外，对设计教育和执行的影响都有可能在工程界产生广泛影响。
