Towards contextual visualization of collaborative design
Gilles Halin, Damien Hanser · 2003
A design project is a professional and social activity inside a group of actors which belongs to the same or a different organisation. In this context, the decision-making power is distributed inside the group. This a network model of actors instead of a hierarchical model as we find in classical worflow tools. This organisation has to be represented in the project management tool to give each user the realistic vision of the project organisation. We propose to use a hyperdocument representation and a graphical network visualisation of the project organisation and evolution. The project visualisation is then a graph of information displaying the context of the cooperation.
