Abstract
Many past efforts have addressed design integration in terms
of inter-operation among design tools/applications. In this
paper the authors attempt to stress the social dimension of
design and the role of explicit support for human level
interaction during design systems integration. A human
-centred approach will he proposed by taking design
integration as collaborative use of design artifacts. An virtual
studio environment framework will be presented as an
integration vehicle to link social and technical dimensions
within a human-human interaction context. A prototype
virtual studio environment will be outlined, and a
demonstration of using the VSE prototype presented. This
will be followed by some discussion on the related research
and further work.
