	Design for Values
		Design for values is a methodological approach based on a soft technological determinism, based on itterative evaluation of technology using the tools of the social science and detailed technical examination.
		In contrast, design for computer security requires developing mechanisms to allow and refuse trust, and thus it may be necessary to embed particular assumptions in the designs of security mechanisms.
		Design for values is technological design with explicit recognition of the economic and political context.

	ROBUST PRODUCT DESIGN THROUGH DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS
		Robust design can be achieved through "brute force" techniques of added design margin or tighter tolerances or through "intelligent design" by understanding which product and process design parameters are critical to the achievement of a performance characteristic and what are the optimum values to both achieve the performance characteristic and minimize variation.
		The design parameters or factors of concern are identified in an inner array or design factor matrix which specifies the factor level or design parameter test cases.
		Very simply, a design factor with a large difference in the signal noise ratio from one factor setting to another indicates that the factor or design parameter is a significant contributor to the achievement of the performance characteristic.

	Steve Wozniak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although his contribution may be seen as a compilation of a few well-known ideas that have perfectly coincided with the technological readiness for a mass-produced computer, Stephen Wozniak's ingenuity and relentless creativity made him uniquely suitable to pick up the credit for starting the personal computer revolution.
		Woz's values were shaped and strengthened over years by his family and individual thinking, ethical and moral philosophy, radio amateur ethics (helping people in emergency), books (Swift's utilitarian and humanitarian attitude) and others.
		His new design was to retain the most important characteristics: simplicity and usability.

	Technological Humanism and Values-Driven Design
		But this is to ignore the glaring single value that is the very heart of humanism: the belief that humanity's power to shape its own destiny through the application of knowledge and reason is a good thing.
		That was our core value, because we knew that comfort with technology would eventually tend to broaden a girl's range of choices in both education and work.
		The Enlightenment humanists' core values and methods were at odds with both the institutions of power and the "popular culture" or street wisdom of the time.

	Caltech, Imprecision in Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Engineering design is a process that requires information to be processed and decisions to be made in the presence of significant levels of imprecision and uncertainty.
		Engineering design is a process comprised of many recognizable stages: analysis of requirements, concept generation, concept evaluation and refinement, embodiment design, detail design, etc. Once several concepts have been generated, this process is one of reducing the uncertainty with which each design alternative is described.
		Even though the designer is uncertain about the final value of a variable, he or she usually has a preference or desire for choosing certain values over others.

		Because the values that motivate what is important in the domestic environment are not the values that are traditionally associated with technology or the values that we have traditionally designed to support.
		If, indeed, domestic design is difficult because the values undergirding the culture of use are different, then we must address those values – though they be broad, perhaps unwieldy, and certainly hard to evaluate – straight on.
		We are also performing a series of design ‘experiments’ in an attempt to understand the utility of values in exploring and challenging the boundaries of the domestic design space.

	Discovering richer patterns of comprehension to reframe polarization
		Apparently "negative" values may also be understood in terms of "positive" attributes, just as "positive" values may be interpreted as having "negative" attributes.
		Design favours the random, the capricious and the unexpected.
		Its importance stems from its primary objective, namely the exposition of a scheme of 62 cases designed to include all possible views (past and future) on the central concern of speculative thought, the nature of the self in relation to the world (see review).

	Personal, Political and Pedagogical: Female Faculty and Values-Based Learning Design
		Embedded in critical theory, feminist pedagogy emphasizes the value of a classroom environment that is relational (that is, emphasizing relationships between teacher and students, and among students themselves), experiential (that is, focusing on personal experience rather than abstract knowledge), and non-hierarchical (that is, centered on students rather than the teacher).
		Aware of this tension, before she designed her course TD conducted a survey of learning preferences of dental hygienists studying at a distance concluding that they wanted a model that fit them, rather than their having to fit their lives around institutional demands such as attending fixed classes or completing a full-time residence.
		Relating the negative experiences of several of her students to the “support…or design difficulties” of an online course from another institution, TD turned to the adult learning literature to find that “greater success is achieved when the students are prepared for the method in which the education is going to be delivered” (TD-5).

	Krzysztof Cwalina : Design Guidelines Update: Enum Design
		If you have values in the enum which cannot be combined, either separate those values into a separate enum, or include them as properties on the class to which the enum is applied.
		Sentinel values are simply used to track the state of the enum itself, and have no actual meaning to the definition of the enum.
		Because you can add values to your enum at a later stage, there is no reason to provide a reserved value, and including it will confuse the meaning of the enum.

	CoCo: Code: Institutional Values and Design
		This Article deconstructs code using case studies and shows that code is not neutral and apolitical but instead embodies the values and motivations of the institutions and actors building it.
		For example, code developed by a university is likely to contain different values and biases, regarding societal concerns such as privacy, than code developed by a firm.
		I like the focal point of its analysis, which is a question that is partly left unatained by the Code-project I'm working on at the Institute for Information Law: how the (institutional values of the) actual writers of code, the code producers, shape its design and thus its working.

	Attributes in Design
		Value frameworks abstract over our definitional feature of objects (see Chapter 1) requiring that instances be uniquely identifiable.
		A design and programming system can itself facilitate and control white-box reuse-with-modification by providing a means for logically cutting and pasting the internals of one concrete class inside another, along with the convention that definitions mentioned as different in the new class replace those in the other.
		Build a tool that accepts range-restricted value descriptions (e.g., in the form listed in the previous question) and automatically generates (a) an abstract immutable class, (b) a default concrete subclass, (c) an abstract mutable class, and (d) a default concrete subclass, all obeying conventions of your choosing.
