一个支持分布式协同建筑设计的模型研究

建筑设计的过程涉及到许多人，而现在，他们之间的工作只能是顺序完成，由于参与设计人员的任务相互关联，这就很难保证设计任务按时有效地完成。本文描述了一个集成设计环境，在这个环境中，充分利用了协同设计的优势。这个环境主要包括一个存储共享设计决策、面向对象的数据库，数据库通过基于知识的查询和更新方式，增强其功能，可在可视化环境中进行设计。

Research on a model of supporting distributed collaborative design of buildings

The process of buildings' design involves many participants. Currently, sequential communication among the participants is the norm. In our view, the quality of the overall project can be significantly improved if there was a tighter, non-sequential collaboration among the participants. This paper describes the development of an integrated design environment, which forms the basis for shared design decisions. The database is augmented by knowledge-based query and update operations. Visual and semantic editing tools round out the environment.
