“…The tool was previously assessed for (i) its support to improve sustainability ICED19 considerations and (ii) its effectiveness in the design process. The results obtained from six case studies conducted to test the above (Devadula, et al, 2017;Ghadge, et al, 2017a;Ghadge, et al, 2017b;Acharya, et al, 2017a;Acharya, et al, 2017b;Uchil, et al, 2017) were positive: use of the tool helped systematically imbibe sustainability considerations into the design process and its outcomes.…”

In today's highly competitive market, product success is determined by two critical factors - innovation and sustainability. While innovation looks to rampantly satisfy the consumers' ever growing requirements with creative solutions, sustainability attempts to rationalise the precarious demands of desired requirements on economy, society and environment.InDeaTe - Innovation Design database and Template, a web-based, design process guidance tool, supports design of sustainable systems by incorporating sustainability requirements into the design process. This paper investigates the potential of the tool to improve the usefulness of a design, one of the indicators of the creativity of the solutions, apart from its novelty. Comparative studies are conducted to assess the improvement of ‘requirement-satisfaction’,a proxy measure for usefulness. Upon introduction of the tool into the design process, significant improvements are reported, thereby reflecting the ability of InDeaTe to increase the usefulness of solutions and foster creativity in design.

“…The evaluation was based on an assessment of the design concepts developed, with and without the use of the tool, by experts to assess sustainability improvements, and using the feedback on tool collected from the users. These studies were conducted on the two earlier versions of InDeaTe: via design sessions conducted on InDeaTe v.1.0 by mixed design teams in India and USA (Acharya et al, 2017a;Acharya et al, 2017b;Devadula et al, 2017;Ghadge et al, 2017aGhadge et al, , 2017bUchil et al, 2017); and later with comparative study of design sessions with and without InDeaTe v.2.0 with 34 engineering students from India at the "Indo-US Dissemination workshop on design of sustainable systems". The key findings from the studies were as follows: (1) applicability of the tool is wider than only for design for sustainability; (2) the users needed further training and improvements in user-interface than provided in InDeaTe 2.0; and perhaps most significantly (3) analysis of information in the tool as well as collection of data from its use can both be used to further support design research.…”

InDeaTe web-tool addresses the issues of poor incorporation of design methods and tools in design. Initially conceived with a focus on sustainability, it is supported by a comprehensive database of design methods and tools, that are mapped using an ontology developed with ACLODS framework as the basis. This paper discusses the expansion of the ontology and inclusion of multiple design methodologies within the InDeaTe 3.0 web-tool, highlights the salient features of the tool and further discusses its relevance also as a research support, to widen its applicability across domains and criteria.
