CDR projects
contribute enabling technology to future electronic design notebooks:
a major entry point into use of the Internet for design and
engineering.

CDR is not building such a notebook. Our research complements explicit notebook efforts particularly the DICE MECE project. CDR's deliverables are unique technologies that result from our study of the design process. It is however very useful to say what future electronic design and engineering notebooks should do and how they should interact with designers and engineers. We have attempted to do so partially by characterizing CDR projects in terms of their contributions to the SHARE project.
Some of these projects are developing the technolgy we need to
interact with such electronic notebooks in a way that will be useful
to engineers and designers. This subcollection of CDR projects we
group together as electronic design notebook "Foundations".
Another subcollection of projects can be seen to be developing the
enabling technologies for notebook functions. These
electronic design notebook "Resources"
can be characterized according to a matrix of
Functions and Interactions.
More detail is available about this rationale for a SHARE view of CDR projects, which contains further detail on the electronic design notebook Foundations and "Resources", including detail on Functions and Interactions.
