Template-based configuration and execution of decision workflows in design of complex engineered systems

The research reported in the paper is from a decision-based design perspective wherein the principal role (but not only) role of a designer is to make decisions. Decision workflows are the processes by which the solutions pertaining to the design of complex systems are generated. Decision workflows are core to design processes, in which a set of decisions are connected (or interconnected) to generate shared and desired design outputs. Careful...
