Survey ■ the order and flow of the tasks a user performs to accomplish something, ■ the relationships among tasks in a complex design environment, and ■ the manner in which old designs can effectively seed new ones. We discuss the significant technical challenges facing the CAD industry and research community and present an approach to address these issues. ■ finding ways to cope with vastly larger quantities of data, ■ communicating key concepts to user communities traditionally outside the
