An Agenda for Structural Computing Research

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3511))

Abstract

Structure plays an important role in knowledge work. The overall goal of structural computing research is to provide effective support for knowledge workers. Structural computing research has reached a level of maturity, where it is relevant and essential to define and discuss common research directions. This paper presents an agenda for structural computing research. A conceptual architecture for a structural computing environment is presented to serve as a point of reference (framework) for discussing important issues facing the structural computing research community.
