Efficient Communication in a Design Environment

This paper presents a new communication service. The novelty of the work resides in the distributed architecture adopted which is based on communication agents in every tool and in every host of the design environment. The importance of the work is demonstrated by the results achieved: improved performance, reduced network traffic and fault-tolerance to host and network failures.
