Frequently Asked Questions
MetaEngineering is the study and refinement of the technology development process. It has three aims:
- To provide the means to better delineate design spaces and facilitate exploration.
- To identify and optimize bottlenecks in the evolution of technology.
- To characterize technological design patterns to support re-use at an abstract level, and to characterize their conditions for applicability.
Toward these ends, we focus on a narrow definition of technological problems.

TekMap is a browsing and visualization front-end for the technology ontology. It
provides a number of viewers for characterizing design spaces and identifying patterns
in the evolution of technology. [...more...]
