Product Design Under Uncertainty

Product design is being attempted these days in various forms, using classical design to meet some predetermined specifications, considering or not the associated manufacturing, relying on consumer models to generate the specs, etc. The procedure usually relies on several parameters that are uncertain. This session calls for papers addressing uncertainty in various forms, pre-design analysis, uncertainty integrated to the design procedure and also a-posteriori analysis. Preference will be given to papers that address design procedures that consider uncertainty as part of the design algorithm.
