This thesis suggests a new framework for cooperative modeling which supports
concurrency design protocol with a design history tracking function. The proposed
framework allows designers to work together while eliminating design conflicts and
redundancies, and preventing infeasible designs. This framework provides methods to
track optimal design path and redundant design history in the overall design process.
This cooperative modeling architecture consists of a modeling server and voxel-based
multi-client design tool. Design change among server and multiple clients are executed
using the proposed concurrency design protocol. The design steps are tracked and
analyzed using Design Tracking Graph and Design Tracking Matrix (DTM), which
provide a design data exchange algorithm allowing seamless integration of design
modifications between participating designers. This framework can be used for effective
cooperative modeling, and helps identify and eliminate conflicts and minimize delay.
The proposed algorithm supports effective cooperative design functions. First, it
provides a method to obtain the optimal design path which can be stored in a design
library and utilized in the future design. Second, it helps capture modeling pattern which can be used for analyzing designer's performance. Finally, obtained redundancies can be
used to evaluate designer?s design efficiency.
