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.
