| summary |
The paper begins with a brief overview of the HIDECS 2 system and its significance. Then, it discusses the development of the Design Methods Network database and its use to identify implementations, applications, and versions of the HIDECS 2 system developed outside the context of its origin. Finally, the paper presents the interactive reconstruction of a hybrid version of HIDECS that synthesizes features discovered through querying the database, and its presentation in a public exhibition on histories and contemporary practices of computer-aided design. |
