State of the Art for Evaluation of Inventive Design Solution Concepts

Abstract

The concepts of solutions resulting from the inventive design process measures are generally described in a declarative manner, which does not allow having a shareable formal or visual representation between partners of the project. In addition, the absence of a model does not allow evaluation and compare competing concepts. In this paper, most relevant work regarding inventive design solution concept presented along with potential merits and demerits and highlighted the need of a systematic method to evaluate behavioral performance of solution concepts.
