... of user expectations. This article introduces a novel framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to automate and enhance the requirement elicitation process. LLMs are used to generate a vast array of simulated users (LLM agents), enabling the exploration of a much broader range of user needs...

...Kevin Ma; Daniele Grandi; Christopher McComb; Kosa Goucher-Lambert Access to large amounts of diverse design solutions can support designers during the early stage of the design process. In this article, we explored the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) in producing diverse design solutions...

... the use of large language models (LLMs) for material selection in the product design process and compares the performance of LLMs against expert choices for various design scenarios. By collecting a dataset of expert material preferences, the study provides a basis for evaluating how well LLMs can align...

..., and they fail to offer convenient methods for knowledge retrieval and reasoning, making it challenging to meet the needs of conceptual design across different fields. This paper proposes an enhanced C–K method leveraging large language models (LLMs) to help designers retrieve knowledge and uncover potentially...

...Vasvi Agarwal; Kathryn Jablokow; Christopher McComb Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as pivotal technology in the evolving world. Their significance in design lies in their transformative potential to support engineers and collaborate with design teams throughout the design process...
