Concurrent Engineering

SLIDE 11

• 1. Core development of disciplinary analysis tools. Collab by sharing results
• 2. Define a common interface for data transfer and storage, e.g. CPACS
• 3. Combination and interpretation of workflows built up from the tools, connected

via the common interface, MDAO, verify the understanding of the process

• 4. Collaborative workflow application on specific problems, communication
• 5. Feeding back the common generated knowledge into earlier phases –

collaborative development and using or anticipating others‘ reqs in the institutes

• Too strict for us
• We don‘t know and cannot know all upcoming use cases
• We need flexibility above all
• For experimentation
• But actually, because we expect demands to change a lot

IDL as a lab for cognitive research on multidisc. collab.

• Challenges pretty well known
• horizontal: communication between the disciplines is difficult
• vertical: across hierarchical structures, different cultures
• Not so much clear how to overcome them
• Basic research is less than well-founded
• Research in multidisciplinary collaboration within the IDL

SLIDE 45

IDL as a cognition laboratory – basics

• Experiment to assess ergonomics, visualization
• Participants solve a challenging task
• Participants have differing environments:

 No support  Text support  Visual support  Both

• Hypothesis: Participants with visual support find better solutions
• This would affirm the ergonomics approach
• Extend by experiments regarding group collaboration

> An Integrated Laboratory for Collaborative Design in the Air Transportation System > Arne Bachmann > 06.09.2012 www.DLR.de • Folie 57

SLIDE 46

• Better visualization capabilities – professional display wall

and even more simple connections and connectivity

• Baseline studies for the collaboration experiments – find

meaningful use cases

• More meetings in the lab, internally and externally
• Systematic experimentation with visual feedback, data

detail and group collaboration behaviour
