DomainDefinition

Computing

Design The approach that engineering (and some other) disciplines use to specify how to create or do something. A successful design must satisfies a (perhaps informal) functional specification (do what it was designed to do); conforms to the limitations of the target medium (it is possible to implement); meets implicit or explicit requirements on performance and resource usage (it is efficient enough). A design may also have to satisfy restrictions on the design process itself, such as its length or cost, or the tools available for doing the design. In the software life-cycle, design follows requirements analysis and is followed by implementation. ["Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications", 2nd ed., Grady Booch]. (1996-12-08).

Specialty Definition: Design

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

When applied to fine and applied arts, engineering, and other such creative efforts, design is both a noun and a verb. The verb is the process of originating and developing a plan for an artistic or engineered object, which may require countless hours of thought, modelling, iterative adjustment, and re-design. The noun is either the finalized plan of action, or the result of following that plan of action.

In philosophy, the abstract noun design refers to purpose/purposefulness, or teleology. Design is thus contrasted with purposelessness, randomness, or lack of complexity.

The traditional view is that design can only arise thanks to a sentient designer. Thus in the teleological argument, also known as the argument from design, the obvious presense of design in the world is thought to prove the existence of a designer, namely God.

In the past few decades, some at the intersection of philosophy and Neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory have proposed an alternative, in which it is meaningful to speak of design without always speaking of a sentient designer. It is seen as insightful to see see humans, gods, and certain impersonal forces, especially natural selection, as equally capable of giving rise to one unified phenomenon: design. Daniel C. Dennett (1995) offers perhaps the most comprehensive framework along these lines.

Note that others at the intersection of philosophy and evolutionary theory argue that the term design should still be reserved for cases involving a sentient designer. This implies that followers of the standard, biological, materialistic account of the origin of the species should not use design or designed in discussions of organisms or parts thereof; since these have no designer, they were not designed in the propper sense of the word. Proponents of this view include Richard Dawkins.

Design of experiments

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The first statistician to consider a methodology for the design of experiments was Sir Ronald A. Fisher. He described how to test the hypothesis that a certain lady could distinguish by flavor alone whether the milk or the tea was first placed in the cup. While this sounds like a frivolous application, it allowed him to illustrate the most important ideas of experimental design.

Design of experiments was built on the foundation of the analysis of variance, a collection of models in which the observed variance is partitioned into components due to different factors which are estimated and/or tested.

Developments of the theory of linear models have encompassed and surpassed the cases that concerned early writers. Today, the theory rests on advanced topics in abstract algebra and combinatorics.

Industrial design

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Industrial Design is an applied art whereby the aesthetics and usability of products may be improved.

Design aspects specified by the industrial designer may include the overall form of the object, the location of details with respect to one another, colors, textures, sounds, and ergonomics.

Often, through the application of industrial design, a product's appeal to the consumer is greatly improved.

Product Design is similar to industrial design, though often broader in scope. In addition to considering aesthetics, usability, and ergonomics, it can also encompass the engineering of objects, usefulness as well as usability, market placement, and other concerns.

 
Product Design and Industrial Design can overlap into the fields of user interface design and information design.

Paisley (design)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Paisley is a droplet-shaped vegetal motif, similar to half of the yin and yang symbol or the Indian bodhi tree leaf. The design originated in India and spread to Scotland when British soldiers brought home cashmere shawls. From roughly 1800 to 1850, using Jacquard looms, the women of the town of Paisley, Scotland adapted the design and wove woolen shawls, hence the design is popularly known as the Paisley Pattern. Changes in fashion led to the demise of the shawl bringing hardship to the weavers in Scotland and the originators in Kashmir.

The shape has been widely adopted since then. Although the influence is not clear, the Turkish tughra calligraphic seal strongly resembles the paisley shape. Some design scholars call the distinct shape boteh and believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a cypress tree--a Zoroastrian symbol of death and eternity.

Software architecture

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Software architecture underlies the practice of building computer software. In the same way as a building architect sets the principles and goals of a building project as the basis for the draftsman's plans, so too, a software architect sets out the software architecture as a basis for actual system design specifications, per the requirements of the client.

History

Software architecture as a concept was touched upon already in the 1960s by (for example) Edsger Dijkstra, but has increased in popularity since the early 1990s, largely due to activity within Rational Software Corporation and within Microsoft.

Views

Software architecture is commonly organised in views, which are analogous to the different types of blueprints made in common architecture. Some possible views are:

Several languages for describing software architectures have been devised, but no consensus has yet been reached on which symbol-set and view-system should be adopted. Some believe that UML will establish a standard for software architecture views. Others believe that effective development of software relies on understanding unique constraints of each problem, and so universal notations are doomed because each provides a notational bias that necessarily makes the notation useless or dangerous for some set of tasks. They point to the proliferation of programming languages and a succession of failed attempts to impose a single 'universal language' on programmers, as proof that software thrives on diversity and not on standards.

Architecture Examples

There are many common ways of designing computer software modules and their communications, among them:

Related Concepts

There are also a number of concepts which have been used in software architecture including

Software ontology is often considered to be a superset of software architecture, i.e. one 'ontologist' co-ordinates several 'architects', 'integrators', 'data modellers', and the usability, technical documentation and trainers. There may even be some control over marketing and sales presentations if the purpose of these is to determine who the products' users are, or to find out their vocabulary or values, to help the product reflect these.

The foundation ontology presently being standardized by the IEEE is intended to simplify and constrain the work of ontologists to a degree, and will to that degree simplify many decisions in software architecture.

RIGHT, n. Legitimate authority to be, to do or to have; as the right to be a king, the right to do one's neighbor, the right to have measles, and the like. The first of these rights was once universally believed to be derived directly from the will of God; and this is still sometimes affirmed in partibus infidelium outside the enlightened realms of Democracy; as the well known lines of Sir Abednego Bink, following: By what right, then, do royal rulers rule? Whose is the sanction of their state and pow'r? He surely were as stubborn as a mule Who, God unwilling, could maintain an hour His uninvited session on the throne, or air His pride securely in the Presidential chair. Whatever is is so by Right Divine; Whate'er occurs, God wills it so. Good land! It were a wondrous thing if His design A fool could baffle or a rogue withstand! If so, then God, I say (intending no offence) Is guilty of contributory negligence.
