Abstract

During a collaborative modelling session, several users are connected to each other to perform activities, such as design or manufacturing planning, together. This paper discusses how interactive modelling facilities can be offered to the clients of a web-based collaborative feature modeling system. Several techniques for interaction with feature models, ranging from display of sophisticated feature model images to interactive selection facilities, have been implemented in webSPIFF, a new web-based, collaborative modelling system. In particular, maintenance of model data at the clients, and their effective utilisation for enhancing user interaction and collaboration are described. The system has a well-balanced distribution of functionality between the server and the clients, and a good compromise between interactivity on the clients and network load has been achieved.
