Developing A Tool for Collaborative Multimedia Systems Design

협력적인 멀티미디어 시스템 디자인을 위한 도구 개발에 관한 연구


Abstract

Multimedia systems design generally requires a collaborative effort from a group of designers with a variety of backgrounds and tasks, such as content experts, instructional designers, media specialists, users, and so forth. The fact that the designers have totally different backgrounds and tasks may hinder their collaboration. This research develops a collaborative design tool for multimedia systems design, called the Designer's Cafe, with which multimedia designers can share their design knowledge on the Web freely. Designer's Cafe consists of three intelligent agents that are designed for supporting collaboration activities of multimedia designers. The intelligent agents are implemented by using JAVA SCRIPT and COLD FUSION. By using the tool, designers create, revise, and share their knowledge/ideas in very structured ways. The structured design process might enhance the collaboration activities of designers while designing a multimedia system within a virtual working space.

기존의 연구에 의하면 멀티미디어 시스템(Multimedia Systems)을 성공적으로 디자인하기 위해서는 다양한 관련분야의 전문가들 사이에 긴밀한 협력이 필요하다고 한다. 그러나, 그 전문가들은 서로 상이한 관점과 지식 체계를 가지고 있기 때문에 상호간 긴밀한 협력에 필수적인 지식을 공유하고 의견을 조율하는데 많은 어려움을 겪는다. 특히 최근 들어 멀티미디어 시스템 디자이너들이 가상의 팀(Virtual Team)을 형성하여 인터넷과 같은 컴퓨터 통신시스템을 활용함으로 해서 지식공유와 의견조율을 통한 협력은 한층 더 어렵게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 Designer's Cafe을 개발하는데 그 주요 목적을 두고 있다.
