“…For example, architecture [11], engineering [10], software modeling [3,4] and user interface design [1,7,8]. Most sketch tools comprise a main drawing space where the user can hand-draw ideas, a storyboard or overview where separate smaller designs are shown in miniature and the user can establish relationships between parts, and, in the case of user interface designs, a run mode where the designer can interact with the sketched design.…”

Digital hand-drawn sketches provide a new and unique way of interacting with a prototype user interface design while it is still rendered as a sketch. The successful use of prototypes and scenarios for exploring design ideas is well documented. Hand-sketched designs have also been found preferable to formal diagrams during early design. The study reported here shows that interacting with digital sketches adds an exciting new dimension to the interface design process, we found that people do more revisions and more accurate revisions with digital sketches.

Sketch-based tools provide a more human centered design environment than traditional widget-based computer design software. A number of sketch tools exist that support specific design tasks: however wider exploration of computer supported sketching is being hampered by the effort required to build the sketching software. Here we present a sketch tool framework, its implementation and evaluation. The implementation, InkKit, provides context free design spaces and a powerful, trainable and extensible modeless writing/drawing recognition engine. It reduces the development effort for a specific diagram type from thousands of lines of code to a few hundred. We evaluated our toolkit by asking fourth year computer science students to use InkKit to develop a diagram specific recognizer.

“…Currently, sketching tools receive much attention in research, and they are used for a varied number of applications (see for exampe Qian and Gross 1999, Stellingwerff 1999, Richens 1999, and Trinder 1999. The particular operation of a sketching tool is not the main focus of this paper, so we will have to assume that a sketch or draw functionality can be implemented.…”

Abstract. Case-Based Reasoning and Case-Based Design have been proposed to utilize knowledge of previous design solutions to understand or solve current design problems. Case retrieval is often performed on the basis of verbal indexing systems, whereas in design the use of graphic representations is predominant. Case retrieval therefore, requires verbalization from the designer, which can interrupt the flow of thought during design. This paper aims to demonstrate how the theoretical work on generic representations in architectural design can form a graphic indexing scheme for cases that are graphic representations. The paper outlines three techniques: a decision-tree for graphic unit recognition, a query composition algorithm, and a look-up table for case retrieval. These three techniques are worked out in the context of a Case-Based Design Aid System.
