Clothing and Textiles for Disabled and Elderly People - Technical research notes written within the framework of the European EasyTex project, identifying the problems that can occur with clothing for disabled and elderly people, and suggesting solutions where possible. Authors: H. Meinander and M. Varheenmaa. Intelligent Support for Communication Difficulties in Conceptual Design - Includes paper arguing that an intelligent design support system allows textile designers to turn their typically incomplete, inconsistent and inaccurate specification of designs into a correct representation of their ideas. Authors: Dr. C. Eckert and others. The Communication Bottleneck in Knitwear Design: Analysis and Computing Solutions - Technical paper presenting the results of an ethnographic study of the patterns of communication observed in the knitwear industry, with an analysis of the diverse factors contributing to communication breakdown and a discussion about possible solutions. Author: Claudia Eckert.
