A Method for Interactive Decision-Making in Collaborative, Distributed Engineering Design (original) (raw)
A decision support method is proposed for integrating distributed, collaborative design activities via mathematical coordination of the individual decisions of designers and other agents involved in the product realization process. This approach involves establishing a domain-independent decision model, expanding the scope of local decisions, and implementing a mathematical coordination mechanism based on game theory and approximate models of the information and strategies of designers. Using this approach, integration of computational models of design, manufacturing, and other portions of the product realization process into a single, large optimization problem is avoided, and the knowledge and expertise of each designer are fully utilized while keeping information transfer and computational requirements at a tractable level.
