The CoMem (Corporate Memory) project looked at how content from previous building design projects could be reused in new projects. It combined elements of information visualisation, information retrieval and human-computer interaction. The project was for my PhD and has since been published as a book.
The presentation below gives a good summary, entitled "CoMem: a people-centred computer environment for design reuse " presented at a workshop of the Institute for People-Centred Computation (IPCC) in Bristol on 2 May 2007. Below that, there is a screen capture recording.The screen capture recording below is of the CoMem Java prototype developed and evaluated during the PhD. It has no audio. To read more about this research, look at the publications listed in the publications page, or read the full doctoral dissertation published by CIFE. CoMem was deployed in an "interactive workspace" as described in a paper in the Special Issue of AI EDAM on Support for Design Teams.
The presentation below was given to the Structures Research Seminar at Cambridge University Engineering Department on 9 May 2008. It includes slides on an earlier project at Cambridge University on prestressed concrete design.
