Abstract
The paper describes activities of the Discovery in Design (DiD): People-centred Computational Issues Cluster established under the UK AHRC/EPSRC 'Design for the 21st Century' initiative. The objective of the Cluster has been to identify primary research aspects concerning development of people-centred computational design environments that engender concept and knowledge discovery across diverse domains. The Cluster has investigated the utility of established and emerging computational intelligence, enabling computational technologies and people-centred issues across diverse design domains relating to widely differing disciplines including engineering, drug design, software engineering, biosensors, material design and virtual product design.
