Introduction

Chapter 1 defines product design as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale made possible by product development technology. This transformation is a complex process, as it draws upon and contributes to different domains. Moreover, it is not well formalized. Computational intelligence algorithms fuse historical design information distributed in space and time into coherent and understandable design knowledge (Kusiak and Salustri 2007). This chapter introduces and discusses the recent computational intelligence methods used for product design, which offer modeling methods and optimization algorithms that are developed to design formalization and automation in terms of new product development.
