“…Several disadvantages that have not been well solved in previous researches but can be effectively dealt with by the solutions proposed in this study: (i) an integrated system does not seem able to meet the complex design requirements needed in a multidisciplinary environment (Ball et al 1996, Ball et al 1998, Mackellar and Peckham 1998. For instance, each item on the system will be communicated to all users; (ii) a distributed-integrated mode works well in a fixed environment (Prasad et al 1997), but the central unit should run in safety and stability; (iii) the most obvious feature of a discrete mode is its flexibility, without a central control unit (Stouffs et al 1998), but many model interpreters are required between different domain systems; (iv) a staged-based system solves the flexibility of a system (Mackellar and Peckham 1998), but it requires a great deal of AI work to develop the system.…”

In this study, based on the analysis of the dynamic nature of collaborative design process, a new framework of collaborative design for modelling an immersive VR automotive driving learning (imseADL) platform is described. This framework adopts an agent-based approach and relocates designers, system and the supporting agents in a unified knowledge representation scheme for imseADL design. This study presents the research issues and industrial requirements for such a system. Furthermore, a prototype system of the proposed framework is implemented and its feasibility is evaluated using a real design scenario whose objective is designing an imseADL.In this system, each virtual element or assembly is designed as an independent unit. The unit agent method is used as the basic system modules. To manage these unit agents, a web-based interface manager is provided. The scene explorer is a virtual element design space based on unit agents and the interface manager. To manage the collaborative session, a web-based design phase manager is proposed. In this situation, designers do not possess all the knowledge they need but instead rely on other organisations. In addition, this proposed system is an effective and valuable architecture for collaboration design in today's product development environment.

“…The former is concerned with the model data management during the design process [27,28]. The latter is the software organization and construction mechanism of a system, which decides which system characteristics to use that could provide the greatest convenience and flexibility for collaborative partners [28][29][30][31][32].…”

ABSTRACT:A fully spatial immersive and interactive visualizations system that provides extremely vivid stereoscopic views of sceneries in 3D is developed based on the technologies of CAD, database, distributed virtual reality and computing networking. The platform, immersive VR automotive driving learning (imseADL), is developed in a web-based collaborative design environment at the YTIT for teaching and research. The platform will can also be tools for complex system analysis and design, such as collision, stability for driving, safety, etc., in the future. In addition, the computer generated images (objects and scenes) can be tailored made to produce any simulated environment for training and skill evaluation purposes within a short period of time. In this paper, based on the analysis of the dynamic nature of collaborative design process, a new framework of collaborative design for modeling an imseADL is described. This framework adopts an agent-based approach and relocates designers, system and the supporting agents in a unified knowledge representation scheme for imseADL design. A prototype system of the proposed framework is implemented and its feasibility is evaluated using a real design scenario whose objective is designing an imseADL. Meanwhile, the imseADL will also provide a means for learners to study their operations without the need to physically visiting these facilities. More importantly, experiments can be performed on the virtual scenes whereby operation and design parameters can be changed in a safe and controlled situation.

“…To incorporate the designer's ideas about the model, Fruchter et al (1995) built Interdisciplinary Communication Medium, using the propose/interpret/critique/explain paradigm in a cycle of collaborative design. Ball et al (1998) and Fruchter et al (1995Fruchter et al ( , 1996 developed prototypes that capture design rationale. Rosenman and Gero (1996) proposed a paradigm to describe the semantics of the model, known as purposefunction-behavior structure.…”

The routine design-modular distributed modeling platform for distributed routine design and simulation-based testing of distributed assemblies. AbstractIn this paper we describe a conceptual framework and implementation of a tool that supports task-directed, distributed routine design (RD) augmented with simulation-based design testing. In our research, we leverage the modular distributed modeling (MDM) methodology to simulate the interaction of design components in an assembly. The major improvement we have made in the RD methodology is to extend it with the capabilities of incorporating remotely represented off-the-shelf components in design and simulation-based testing of a distributed assembly. The deliverable of our research is the RD-MDM platform, which is capable of automatically selecting intellectually protected off the shelf design components over the Internet, integrating these components in an assembly, running simulations for design testing, and publishing the approved design without disclosing the proprietary information.
