This book deals with efficient estimation and optimization methods to improve the design of electrotechnical devices under uncertainty.

Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents a panorama of technologies and methods for multi-finger haptic interaction, together with an analysis of the benefits and implications of adding multiple-fingers to haptic applications.

In the past decade, feature-based design and manufacturing has gained some momentum in various engineering domains to represent and reuse semantic patterns with effective applicability.

Data-driven Design of Fault Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control Systems presents basic statistical process monitoring, fault diagnosis, and control methods and introduces advanced data-driven schemes for the design of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control systems catering to the needs of dynamic industrial processes.

The Creative Engineering Design Assessment or CEDA is a newly developed tool to assess creativity specific to engineering design which is vital for innovation.

Stress-reducing defects and subsequent microcracks are a central focus during micromachining processes.

Modern design methods of Automotive Cam Design require the computation of a range of parameters.

During its life cycle, a product produces waste that is over 20 times its weight.

Presented here are 97 refereed papers given at the 37th MATADOR Conference held at The University of Manchester in July 2012.

The recent trend in user-customized product design requires the shape of products to be automatically adjusted according to the human body's shape, so that people will feel more comfortable when wearing these products.

The time has come to move into a more humanistic approach of technology and to understand where our world is moving to in the early twenty-first century.

Since the 1970's, an increasing amount of specialized research has focused on the problems created by instability of internal flow in hydroelectric power plants.

Base stations developed according to the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard require unprecedented processing power.

The concept generation process seems like an intuitional thought: difficult to capture and perform, although everyone is capable of it.

Whilst previous methods for business process reengineering have focused on time and cost reduction policies to preserve competitive services and products, Re-engineering of Products and Processes: How to Achieve Global Success in the Changing Marketplace presents a new approach which aims to include aspects that impact the customer perceived value.

Multiple Criteria Decision Support in Engineering Design examines some of the underlying issues and related modelling strategies, with a view to exploring the rich potential of a generalised multiple-criteria approach to design decision-making.

Good product designs merge materials, technology and hardware into a unified user experience; one where the technology recedes into the background and people benefit from the capabilities and experiences available.
