Indeed: An active database for concurrent engineering

Concurrent engineering is a methodology for design which is increasing in popularity at large manufacturing organizations. Because of this methodology's focus on group rather than individual productivity, many computer-based tools do not provide adequate support. This thesis describes a model for an active, object-oriented database which has been designed to support engineers involved in a joint design effort. This database provides the means to represent and manage information that has traditionally not been within the scope of computerized design tools. Users can represent the heuristics and relationships present in the design as well as the design objects. As well, the model allows for the retention of historical information which can show how values in the database were derived.
