Finding and Understanding Reusable Designs from Large Hierarchical Repositories
2006
Information Visualization
Preserved Fulltext
This paper describes a prototype called CoMem (Corporate Memory) that supports the finding and understanding of useful items in large hierarchical repositories. ...
Once an item from the treemap is selected, CoMem supports the understanding of that item by identifying related items in the hierarchy and visualizing the selected item in the context of these related ...
Why is it that design reuse is very effective when one is reusing knowledge from one's own personal experiences or internal memory, but is often unsuccessful when one is reusing designs from an external ...

We call a repository of such knowledge in context the corporate memory. We describe empirical observations of designers reusing knowledge from their personal design experiences. ...
We illustrate the use of a prototype system, called CoMem, that supports these activities with an industry case study. ...
CoMem uses the Treemap Java Library by Christophe Bouthier, and the Latent Semantic Indexing software by Telcordia Technologies. ...
