INTERACTIVE DESIGN COORDINATION FOR THE BUILDING INDUSTRY
Abstract
One of the responses to the need for effective interaction in the use of computers for a design project is the supersystem concept proposed for ICES, the Integrated Civil Engineering System. The supersystem is defined as the cooperative effort on the part of the designers of several problem oriented computer capabilities to implement project oriented capabilities by allowing each of their problem oriented subsystems to reference a single file of project data. The supersystem would allow design interaction by having each of the problem oriented computer subsystems reference a single file of information specifying the project. Future work in the application of computers to interactive and project oriented design in the building industry will have to concentrate on the file structure to be used in the implementation of a computer building design supersystem.
