Collaborative Forgetting for Engineering Design
In engineering, product development is a collaborative activity reusing and adapting existing product models. While capturing design rationale is effective to deal with adaptations by teams, adaptation not only requires joint extension of models, as supported by existing methods for design rationale, but also removing what is no longer relevant or in conflict. Such Intentional Forgetting is difficult, as may affect assemblages of elements, should not over- or underdelete, and may require undoing. While EVOWIPE (our phase 1 project) has successfully tackled IF, project teams require methods for Collaborative Forgetting that is addressed in this project.
