Abstract: Open-air museums often referred to as unique and diverse heritage sites with a vast potential for innovation in interpretation and revenue generation. In Armenia this potential remained largely unfulfilled. Most archaeological sites in Armenia are in vast demand to be taken care of. Operated either by a level of government or by a large heritage organization open-air museums can be explored for generating additional income on-site in order to maintain appropriate standards of historical integrity and community value. The following opportunities may be used: as sites for movie sets or conference centers; providing accommodation, facility rentals and summer educational function, camp activities; benefit concerts; in case of business approach there may be cooperation with the local business involving it in the process of operation of restaurants, shops of souvenirs and their production. Commercial tours can also be considered as a means to improve economical perspective for open-air museums.

Abstract: According to the principle of accurate imaging systems, the accurate nanomeasurement equipment is designed. On the basis of establishing the model of breast cancers to be processed, the nanomeasurement equipment is assembled in a virtual manner by using the application software Pro/ Engineer provided by three-dimensional CAD. The virtual image of the components of accurate video equipment is implemented either from top to bottom or reversely, providing a basis for simulation and development of this equipment.

Abstract: Product design is a multi-perspective group decision making process which has the different viewpoints together to create the solutions among stakeholders. In product design process, every stakeholder has his/her own subjective characteristics and variable perspectives which reflect his/her understandings of design objects. The perspective relationships between stakeholders will directly influence the speed of achieving solutions, which in turn affect design time and efficiency. By analyzing the similarity relationships between the participants' perspectives, this paper constructs perspective network model and applies structure matrix to develop perspective relationships. This paper focuses on incorporating perspectives into design process and developing the approaches to make decisions support for the optimal design solutions considering stakeholders’ perspectives. Finally, an example is used to demonstrate that perspective network model can analyze the impacts of perspectives on the solution.

Abstract: Collaborative product design is a multiple criteria group decision making process bringing different and often controversial points of view together to create a solution among stakeholders. Collaborative design possesses more perspectives than any single person possesses because stakeholders have different perspectives. This work is based on new decision approach that includes creating shared understanding among various stakeholders, contextualizing design criteria and perspectives, and creating a multiple perspective and multiple criteria decision approach, our initial effort has focused on incorporating perspectives into design process. We then provide the approach to find the optimal design decisions for consideration of stakeholders’ perspectives. By analyzing the relationships between stakeholders’ perspectives and preferences of design criteria, multi-criteria decision making approach considering the stakeholders’ perspectives can be used to monitor and control the collaborative design process.
