Conceptual design commences with high-level descriptions of requirements and proceeds with a high-level description of a solution. The early or conceptual stage of the design process is dominated by the generation of ideas, which are subsequently evaluated against general requirements’ criteria. Distributed collaborative design is a complex process, which becomes even more challenging during its initial phases due to the lack of computer support in the field.
COnCEPT addresses the technology gap in distributed collaborative early-stage design by defining a flexible framework, which can serve as a blueprint for the creation of efficient collaborative platforms and environments. An integrated approach will be followed, as opposed to the contemporary fragmented research, to bring together all aspects of effective early-stage collaboration in distributed, multidisciplinary teams. While the integration of those aspects in a unified collaboration framework is an innovation in itself.
COnCEPT will push further the boundaries of the state of the art by exploring combinations which may affect the current norm in the creation of collaborative design and modeling platforms.
