Abstract
We propose an operational framework for supporting
cooperative design processes carried out by a group of
designers. Besides the cooperative refinement of the
design-object specification, the introduced cooperation
protocol allows cooperative design by system-controlled
interchange of design object versions. The versions
reflect the process of step-wise improving the design object
so as to meet finally its specification. We introduce a data
integrated design environment based on a nonstandard
database system in order to manage the whole
cooperation process, i.e., the design objects, the versions, and the
design activities.
