A Model-Based Software Architecture to Support Decentral Product Development Processes

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 52))

Abstract

The cross-organizational, collaborative product development needs adaptive and open platforms for integration that scale well and provide an intelligent environment especially in regard to definition and design. Based on these requirements our research focuses on how decentral information technology can further the processes especially needed for collaborative product development (CPD). We therefore follow a model driven development (MDD) approach, but it is still an open research question how requirements for that approach in a decentral development process should be reconciled with the potential of decentralized IT systems (especially in P2P environments). This paper presents methods and models which have been hardly taken into consideration by existing centralized collaborative systems. We aim to provide the basics for the next generation of loosely coupled collaborative systems for cross-organizational CPD.
