Conflict Management in Concurrent Engineering: Modelling Guides
Abstract
In Concurrent Engineering, several designers (participants) aim at designing a system (artifact), given requirements. Conflict Management in Concurrent Engineering is a complex task in which it is difficult to identify conflicts and to solve them. Reuse of generic components is generally considered as a good help to guide complex task modelling. An overview of our study to define a library of generic components to guide conflict management modelling is presented below. Conflict management methods, proposed in the literature, are classified and associated to each concurrent engineering subtask. This classification provides help to index these methods, considered as generic components in a library.
