“…These are active areas of research [7] and still poorly addressed by current industrial tools [38]. Although some success has been reported using semi-automated tools [38][39][40][41], the task of capturing design intent cannot be completely automated [42], and thus requires designers to be actively involved throughout the entire process. Unfortunately, it has been shown that designers are often reluctant to spend time adding additional information to their models [43].…”

“…[48]. The most sophisticated approaches often involve the use of complex external systems, such as Compendium [42] and DR editor (DRed) [38] (both based on the concept of Issue based Information System or IBIS [49]), and rely heavily on human intervention, especially for interpreting and entering information into the system. Other approaches include argumentation-based models such as Decision Representation Language (DRL) [50], which was further extended by Software Engineering Using Design RATionale (SEURAT) [51], and the Question, Option and Criteria (QOC) technique which emphasizes discussions of alternatives regarding artifact features [50].…”

Revista:Computer-Aided Design Versión / Versió: Preprint Cita bibliográfica / Cita bibliogràfica (ISO 690):CAMBA, Jorge, et al. Extended 3D annotations as a new mechanism to explicitly communicate geometric design intent and increase CAD model reusability. ComputerAided Design, 2014, vol. 57, p. 61-73 AbstractA successful implementation of the Model-Based Enterprise concept (MBE) requires maximizing the potential benefits of annotated 3D models. The foundations of the MBE model are established by digital product definition data practices, which are currently regulated by standards such as ASME Y14. 41-2003 and ISO 16792:2006. At the center of the MBE concept is the notion of CAD model reusability, which relies on the idea that 3D CAD models can be reused both throughout the entire product lifecycle and as a starting point for future development of new products. In this context, a critical aspect of CAD model reuse is the proper identification and understanding of the geometric design intent that is usually expressed implicitly within the CAD model.In this work, we present a method to communicate geometric design intent explicitly by overloading and extending the scope of the current annotation instruments available in the MBE approach. We propose a new broader type of model annotation that we call "extended annotation," where design information is represented both internally within the 3D model and externally, on a separate repository. This structure naturally demands additional mechanisms to support the interaction of users with the information. In order to manage the information stored in these extended annotations effectively, we implemented an annotation manager that automatically synchronizes the dual representation of the annotations. To reduce the visual clutter in the 3D model, the software provides powerful filtering, editing, and visualization capabilities, giving users complete control of the information stored in the model. Finally, a study was conducted with 60 participants to evaluate the performance of the proposed model and the usability of the annotation manager. Results show a statistically significant benefit of using the extended annotation system, suggesting the use of this model as a valuable approach to improve design intent communication.

“…Most of the DR representation approaches are argumentation-based approaches, and the typical model is issue-based information system (IBIS) (Kunz and Rittel 1970), which uses issues, positions, arguments and relationships between them to represent DR. Several software tools which allow engineering designers to record DR have been implemented based on IBIS. For example, Conklin and Begeman (1988) developed graphical IBIS (gIBIS), and Bracewell et al (2009) implemented Design Rationale editor (DRed). In addition, McCall (1991) proposed the Procedural Hierarchy of Issues (PHI) model, which broadens the scope of the concept of issue in IBIS.…”

An approach for design rationale retrieval using ontology-aided indexing

Design rationale is an important category of design knowledge. Effective reuse of design rationale depends on its successful retrieval. In this paper, an approach for design rationale retrieval using ontology-aided indexing is presented. First, a design rationale ontology is designed based on the extended IBIS-based design rationale representation in order to effectively utilize the semantics embedded in DR. Then, an ontology-aided indexing method is proposed to build indexes for design rationale records to index the semantic concepts and relationships in DR. Furthermore, three kinds of query modes are developed to support flexible querying, among which natural language input query and DR record based query have much more semantics and thus lead to better retrieval results. Finally, a prototype system is implemented. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

“…Buckingham Shum et al have presented and replayed meeting content through a computer generated graphical map similar to a decision tree [22]. This type of approach has also been used for capturing design rationale in aerospace using visual symbols to represent items discussed like issue status, answers to questions and arguments [23,24]. Another type of browser, developed by Jaimes et al [25] was later evaluated in a study by Whittaker et al [3].…”

Abstract-A face-to-face (F2F) meeting capture and indexing process could provide an internal feedback mechanism so that results can be monitored against change interventions decided at product lifecycle management (PLM) or performance development review (PDR) meetings. It could also assist people who do not currently have the knowledge or authority to act on what was discussed to share and reflect on the F2F meeting content after the event. In this paper a prototype is described in use with the continuous improvement Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as a proof-of-concept in BAE Systems. More work should be completed to make the captioning of the F2F meeting content automatic or semi automatic. The presentation of the content in the groupware webpage may also be developed so that there is easier navigation. It would also be useful to have the variables that influence the profitability of the products to be displayed on the webpage so that changes can be tracked against business performance.
