Domain-Oriented Design Environments as Models for the Design of Collaborative Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Domain-oriented design environments (DODES) support c-ollaboration between (1) all stakeholders in a design process and (2) between stakeholders and computational environments. They serve as model for the design of collaborative systems by exploring and supporting different relationships and task responsibilities between humans and computers. Within human-computer collaboration, they are grounded within the complementary approach rather than the emulation or replacement approach by exploiting the strengths and the weaknesses of human and computational agents. By representing models of specific domains, DODES provide a shared context and ground design with representations supporting mutual education and understanding by all stakeholders. This paper focuses on the following major themes for collaboration: (1) collaboration between environment developers and domain designers, (2) collaboration between domain designers and clients, (3) indirect, long-term collaboration among designers in the development of a domain-oriented design environment itself as well as individual artifacts within a DODE, and (4) computational support for all of these collaborative efforts. Resume. Les environnements de conception orientes domaine (DODES en anglais) foumissent un moyen pour faciliter la collaboration entre (1) les participants dans Ie processus de conception et (2) entre les participants et l'environnement informatique. Us servent de modele pour la conception de systemes collaboratifs en permettant l'exploration et l'aide dans les responsabilites sur les relations et les taches entre humains et ordinateurs. Dans une collaboration homme-machine, ces environnements reposent sur une approche exploitant la complementarite plutot qu'une approche basee sur l'emulation ou la substitution, ces demieres approches exploitant plutot les forces et faiblesses des agents humain et machine. En representant les modeles de domaines specifiques, les environnements decrits dans ce papier fournissent un contexte partage et les bases d'une conception avec des representations qui favorisent une education et une comprehension mutuelles des participants. Ce papier est centre sur les themes majeurs de toute collaboration: (1) la collaboration entre les developpeurs de l'environnement et les concepteurs du domaine; (2) la collaboration entre les concepteurs du domaine et les clients; (3) une collaboration indirecte et a long terme parmi les concepteurs dans Ie developpement d'un environnement de conception oriente domaine; et (4) une aide computationnelle pour tous ces efforts collaboratifs.

متن کاملEvolving a Generic Application into a Domain-oriented Design Environment
This paper presents an approach for how end-users can tailor (and evolve) generic computer applications into domain-oriented design environments. It is proposed as a remedy for inflexible computer applications, and as an alternative to building domain-oriented design environments from low-level building blocks. A typical generic application is a word processor, a drawing program, or an email sy...
متن کاملFacilitating collaborative design through representations of context and intent
Domain-oriented design environments require support for three types of collaboration: (1) collaboration between domain-oriented designers (the users of design environments) and design environment builders, (2) collaboration between domain-oriented designers and clients (users of designed individual artifacts using a design environments), and (3) long-term direct collaboration among designers. D...
متن کاملDistributed cognition, learning webs, and domain-oriented design environments
The human mind is limited, making collaboration with other humans and with things (in our case with computational environments) a necessity rather than a lUxury. Relevant knowledge for work and for learning is distributed in our head, in the heads of others, and in the environment. Learning webs are used by (virtual) communities of practice. Domain-oriented design environments (DODEs) support l...
