Abstract

The paper describes a method for visual systems synthesis. It stresses the importance of meaningful objects at the interface and suggests that semantics be used to derive such meaningful objects. The paper makes a distinction between the semantics of the design process and the problem domain and suggests that problem domain semantic concepts become the operands of design concepts. The paper notes the dual role of CSCW both as a problem domain in its own right and as providing semantics to describe the design process itself. The paper defines a set of formal semantics for CSCW and then describes synthesis of CSCW systems. It then describes the design process and shows how CSCW semantics can be used to define and implement a general model of the design process.
