An Approach Toward Integrating Top-Down and Bottom-Up Product Concept and Design Selection

Journal of Mechanical Design, 2011
This paper proposes an approach to integrate top-down and bottom-up procedures for product concept and design selection. The top-down procedure identifies relationships between product requirements and design parameters and specifies an acceptable range of design parameters (called a design range) from product specifications and tolerances.

On the combination of top-down and bottom-up methodologies for the design of coordination mechanisms in self-organising systems

Information and Software Technology, 2012
In resource-flow systems, e.g. production lines, agents are processing resources by applying capabilities to them in a given order. Such systems benefit from self-organization as they become easier to manage and more robust against failures. In this paper, we demonstrate the conception of a decentralized coordination process for resource-flow systems ...

Directed Self-assembly of 2-Dimensional Mesoblocks Using Top-Down/Bottom-Up Design [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper we present a general design methodology suitable for a class of complex multi-agent systems which are capable of self-assembly. Our methodology is based on a top-down, bottom-up approach, which has the potential to achieve a range of global design goals whilst retaining emergent behaviour somewhere in the system, and thereby allowing ...

Balancing Participatory Design Approaches in Slum Upgradation: When Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up!

2020
The chapter discusses a participatory planning approach utilised for informal (slum) settlement upgradation. A review of approaches identifies the failures of top-down processes and demonstrates the challenges of bottom-up processes. A middle-ground planning approach, where top-down spatial solutions grounded in disciplinary knowledge mesh with the ...

Organic development [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2006 international conference on Digital government research, 2006
In this paper we lay out interim findings and speculate on the implications for practice and theory of integrated criminal justice systems in law enforcement. In doing this we theorize on public sector information systems and their uses of information and communication technologies as engaging in what we call "organic development." To develop our ...
