To handle increasingly complex design data, CAD tools are becoming more specialised and complex and hence, more difficult to use. This paper describes an interactive system that h...
: This paper discusses design families and design individuals. Phase space is introduced to complement state space. Phase transition as a generic method of generating design famili...
: True integration of large systems requires sharing of information stored in databases beyond sharing of pure data: business rules associated with this data must be shared also. T...
Certain observable features (tags), shared by a group of similar agents, can be used to signal intentions and can be effectively used to infer unobservable properties. Such infere...
