Found in Design Translation
Morgan, David // 2011
During any iterative design process some versions are of such character that they go beyond design iteration and constitute what could be called a design translation. Design translations can generate ...
Future-Proof Interfaces: Systematic Identification and Analysis
Bauer, W.; Maurer, M. // 2011
A system’s functionality is often realized by interaction of many independent products. The interoperability can cause problems in management and design, because these products possess different life ...
Generation of Diverse Dynamic Behaviors Using the Emergent Design System

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
