Information supply: An approach based on demand modelling and information filtering

Abstract

Collaborative team members usually come from diverse disciplines; their demands for information are also different from each other. This paper is mainly concerned with how to capture designers’ demands for information in a collaborative team. From a workflow perspective, designers’ information demand is modelled considering three aspects: members’, roles’, and tasks’ requirements for information. Based on a static model of information demand and information filtering technologies, a dynamic model is proposed so that the designers’ information demand could be derived automatically. In addition, the appropriate volume of information for designers’ needs could also be determined intelligently. With the information demand model, an information supply system could be developed to realize the following objective: the delivery of an appropriate volume of information within an appropriate domain, delivered to the appropriate user in the collaborative team.
