Design

A design is something created from a philosophy, framework, model, theory, or ideal. A good engineered design is aesthetically pleasing, performs well and is robust.

A design’s composition might be elegant, artistic, or purely functional. Innovation is often the result of a design modification. Design aspects important to computing include miniaturization and energy efficiency.

Complex designs may require research, testing or modelling in a computer. CAD and visualization can all help in design planning and development. Designs can include redundancy features for backup and safety purposes.

Good software might have features for compatibility and configuration. A design may involve a plan or features which remain secret. Things that are designed and related to iA, partially include;
