Guidelines and models on implementing design principles of KP-Lab, application scenarios and best practices
17 September 2007
Austria
This deliverable provides an updated and extended description of the KP-Lab co-design framework as well as
a summary of main design methods used so far. The purpose of this deliverable is to explicate the underlying
rationale as well as systematic structure of the co-design process. The report starts with a brief outline of the
theoretical considerations underlying the design-framework as well as a comparison with current approaches
in software-engineering. Against this background, the main methodological challenges are sketched. In the
main part of the report the actual co-design framework, including its guiding principles, the overall process
framework as well as concrete design practices are depicted. The report ends with an outlook on the next
steps to be taken.
