Distributed team innovation - a framework for distributed product development
- 2003
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In response to the need for increased effectivity in global product development, the Polhem Laboratory at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, and the Center for Design Research at Stanford University, USA, have created the concept of Distributed Team Innovation (DTI). The overall aim of the DTI framework is to decrease the negative impact of geographic distance on product development efforts and to further enhance current advantages of worldwide, multidisciplinary collaboration. The DTI framework uses a three-layered approach to the advancement of global collaboration; with product development, education, and research in dynamic and synergetic interaction. From our preliminary findings, we believe that the approach we have taken in the DTI initiative will make significant contributions to meet current challenges of distributed product development.

Intranet - Luleå University of Technology
- 2001
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Division of Computer Aided Design has been announced as one of ten winners in the Intranet Design Annual, published by web guru Jakob Nielsen at Nielsen/Norman Group. In competition with over 50 nominated organizations, the division's Intranet, developed by Andreas Larsson, Tobias Larsson and Peter Törlind, reached the top ten. Nielsen has been called the "guru of webpage usability" by the New York Times, and he currently holds 60 U.S. Patents, most of them concerning web usability. The report states: “It is also notable that Luleå University of Technology made it to the top 10, despite being designed by a bunch of graduate students. Though small and lacking a lot of resources, this design team focused relentlessly on user needs and on simplifying their design through many fast iterations. Some of the Luleå features underwent up to 50 iterations before they reached their current usability level. ‘I thought my initial design for the calendar application was really easy to use - in fact, I was quite proud of it,’ says one of the developers. But, the design didn’t hold up when professors and other staff members used it, so it was changed. User needs triumphed over the designer’s initial pride. That’s the hallmark of a truly great designer. On a small budget, the way to achieve high-quality design is through fast, cheap iterations and a willingness to do what users need.” http://www.useit.com/alertbox/intranet_design_2001.html http://www.nngroup.com/reports/intranet/2001/

The Mobile intranet : managing people and information in a distributed organization
- 2002

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As a result of the increasing globalisation of organizations, information systems must deal with issues of mobility. Longer distances between the members can lead to a knowledge gap, which means that two groups of people working in the same organization work according to completely different bases of information. Thus, there is a need for the members of an organization to communicate efficiently across geographical and departmental boundaries. The paper discusses motives, methods and experiences from the participatory design of a versatile Intranet application currently in use at the Division of Computer Aided Design, Luleå University of Technology in Sweden.

A modular approach to web based multibody dynamic simulation
- 2001
-
In: International CIRP Design Seminar. - Stockholm : Kungl. Tekniska Högskolan.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Computer-based tools for modelling and simulation have changed the best practise of product development. Simulation of mechanical dynamic systems have a large potential in product development but are only partly used today due to, for example, modelling complexity. A method, or tool, that supports distribution of multibody dynamic analysis models, in a modular way, is proposed and developed. Ethnographic methods have been used as a means for gaining an understanding of the engineering analysis work practice. The tool incorporates the engineering simulation packages ADAMS and MATLAB in a web based environment, and allows distributed multibody dynamic simulation in product development.

Distributed multibody dynamic analysis within product development
- 2001
-
In: Proceedings of the ASME Design Engineering Technical Conference. - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. ; , s. 501-507, s. 501-507
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A method that supports distribution of multibody dynamic analysis is proposed and developed. Ethnographic methods are used as a means for gaining a deeper understanding of the engineering analysis work practice, and the findings form the base for a cooperative design of the system. The concept of design rationale is applied in order to deal with current problems of engineering analysis, such as irrelevant input and output, as well as satisfying the need for useful, real-time feedback. The web based simulation environment, applied to vehicle system dynamics, contains the simulation packages ADAMS and MATLAB and incorporates database technology. The possibility to distribute simulation models and results, from simulation experts to design experts and engineers, as well as subcontractors, is created. The proposed method requires changes in the existing multibody dynamic simulation methodology regarding aspects of incorporation in product development theories

Web-based multibody dynamics using distributed simulation modules
- 2002
-
In: Proceedings. - Hong Kong.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- From being a specialized tool, used in only a few of the design stages, modeling and simulation has become a strategically and competitive tool the global manufacturing firm can’t do without in order to perform world class product development. Simulations have grown from being small isolated models treated at one geographic place to be multidisciplinary and incorporating whole product structures. This means that information, i.e. simulation models, might be located at departments across the entire organization, hence in the global organization across the world and the efforts to perform simulations will be complicated. A method, or tool, that use the Internet for sharing and incorporating modular Simulation models, within the framework of multibody dynamics, is proposed and developed in this work.

Enhanced engineering design practice using knowledge enabled engineering with simulation methods
- 2004
-
In: Design 2004. - Zabreb : University of Zagreb. - 9536313596
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The objective of this paper is to discuss how Knowledge Enabled Engineering, when combined with simulation methods is a development step for product development processes, engineering design methods and evaluation support systems. The paper opens the discussion on how these approaches, i.e. work methods, simulation support and Knowledge Enabled Engineering (KEE) methods affects best practice in engineering design (ED) by adding synthesis support to the already existing analysis support. In the presented work the authors discuss the actual state of industrial applications, with challenges and opportunities, at Volvo Car Corporation, automotive manufacturer, and Volvo Aero Corporation, jet engine component manufacturer, both operating in Sweden.

Modelling and simulation of catenary-pantograph interaction
- 2000
-
In: Vehicle System Dynamics. - : Taylor & Francis Ltd.. - 0042-3114 .- 1744-5159. ; 33:suppl, s. 490-501
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of catenary-pantograph interaction is an important part when assessing the capability of a current collection system for railway traffic. The large variation in infrastructure characteristics in different countries and railway companies, different types of traffic, designs of pantographs etc. makes it almost impossible to develop a final simulation model of such a system. Instead, it would be favourable to have a tool that has the ability to set up models of such systems, choose relevant detail of the models, run simulations and finally visualize the results. To make the tool useful for engineers, design experts as well as simulation experts, the functionality of the tool must be worked out. Aspects on computer simulation such as developed models, simulation methods and computer tools are presented. The aim is to develop a scenario that considers different designs, models, solution methods and user levels. The scenario focuses on how to structure the use of simulation of dynamics in catenary-pantograph development. A scenario is sketched built on different user levels, a modular structure and a structure for information management
