CADModelScope: Revealing the Dependency Structure Behind Parametric Computer-Aided Design Models

Parametric computer-aided design (CAD) models are constructed by a sequence of operations, where each operation may reference geometries created by earlier operations. This network of dependencies enables efficient modelling of complex geometry but also results in fragile models, where small modifications can trigger…

Untangling the Timeline: Challenges and Opportunities in Supporting Version Control in Modern Computer-Aided Design

Version control is critical in mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) to enable traceability, manage product variation, and support collaboration. Yet, its implementation in modern CAD software as an essential information infrastructure for product development remains plagued by issues due to the complexity and interd…

Who is to Blame: A Comprehensive Review of Challenges and Opportunities in Designer-Developer Collaboration

Software development relies on effective collaboration between Software Development Engineers (SDEs) and User eXperience Designers (UXDs) to create software products of high quality and usability. While this collaboration issue has been explored over the past decades, anecdotal evidence continues to indicate the exist…

Collaboration Challenges and Opportunities in Developing Scientific Open-Source Software Ecosystem: A Case Study on Astropy

Scientific open-source software (OSS) has greatly benefited research communities through its transparent and collaborative nature. Given its critical role in scientific research, ensuring the efficiency of collaboration within development teams has become vital. Earlier research has identified both the challenges and…

It's a Complete Haystack: Understanding Dependency Management Needs in Computer-Aided Design

In today's landscape, hardware development teams face increasing demands for better quality products, greater innovation, and shorter manufacturing lead times. Despite the need for more efficient and effective processes, hardware designers continue to struggle with a lack of awareness of design changes and other colla…

"A Lot of Moving Parts": A Case Study of Open-Source Hardware Design Collaboration in the Thingiverse Community

Open-source is a decentralized and collaborative method of development that encourages open contribution from an extensive and undefined network of individuals. Although commonly associated with software development (OSS), the open-source model extends to hardware development, forming the basis of open-source hardware…

In the Age of Collaboration, the Computer-Aided Design Ecosystem is Behind: An Interview Study of Distributed CAD Practice

Computer-aided design (CAD) has become indispensable to increasingly-collaborative hardware design processes. Despite the long-standing and growing need for collaboration with CAD models and tools, anecdotal reports and ongoing researcher efforts point to a complex and unresolved set of challenges faced by designers w…

User Perspectives on Branching in Computer-Aided Design

Branching is a feature of distributed version control systems that facilitates the "divide and conquer" strategy present in complex and collaborative work domains. Branching has revolutionized modern software development and has the potential to similarly transform hardware product development via CAD (computer-aided…

Aspirations and Practice of ML Model Documentation: Moving the Needle with Nudging and Traceability

The documentation practice for machine-learned (ML) models often falls short of established practices for traditional software, which impedes model accountability and inadvertently abets inappropriate or misuse of models. Recently, model cards, a proposal for model documentation, have attracted notable attention, but…

Interaction of Thoughts: Towards Mediating Task Assignment in Human-AI Cooperation with a Capability-Aware Shared Mental Model

The existing work on task assignment of human-AI cooperation did not consider the differences between individual team members regarding their capabilities, leading to sub-optimal task completion results. In this work, we propose a capability-aware shared mental model (CASMM) with the components of task grouping and ne…
