This paper presents a distributed dynamic object model that is aligned with the concept ofdesign history in the context of design problem solving activities. A distributed, object model is proposed as an enabling feature for distributed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) allowing teams lo work cooperativeb, accessing and exchanging information at run time in a distributed engineering environment, The architecture of the proposed CAD environment allows for the arteJact properties to be associated with any relevant aspect of the design process, including those related with the artefact specification, but also with the organisation hierarchy, planning and process worhjflow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
