Concurrent Engineering
• 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
> An Integrated Laboratory for Collaborative Design in the Air Transportation System > Arne Bachmann > 06.09.2012 www.DLR.de • Folie 56
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
• 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
