..., decomposition strategies, partitioning ABSTRACT Combined optimal embodiment design and control is increasingly necessary in designing modern artifacts. Several strategies for achieving such a system-level optimum were examined previously in the context of a case study. Since differ- ent strategies often lead...

..., optimization, decomposition, partitioning, coordination ABSTRACT Target cascading is a key challenge in the early product develop- ment stages of large complex artifacts: How to propagate the desirable top level design specifications (or targets) to appropri- ate specifications for the various subsystems...

... The principle of partitioning tasks among product development teams so as to minimize the cost of interactions across design teams is an important characteristic of complex engineered systems. Although there is growing literature that deals with the proper organization of product development...
