Working Group Report: Design Capture (NSF Workshop on Information Capture and Access in Engineering Design Environments, November 11-14, 1991).

摘要

To understand what research and development is required to support design capture it is important to understand the goals of design capture. We have always wanted to capture the design of artifacts-the specifics that allow replicating (i.e.., manufacturing) the artifact. It is now clear that we must also capture a wide range of information on the design-process, much more than just the outcome of decisions made during the process. Rather than merely describing the designed artifact, the entire process of using tools to produce the design must be captured. Knowledge about the design process is crucial to completing a design, to facilitating communication about the design, to reusing the design in future development cycles, redesigning, and to dealing with issues throughout the product lifecycle Computing infrastructure, Concurrent design and engineering, Design capture.
