Cel EDID addresses the field of Distributed Collaborative Design in the European Aerospace Industry sector and aims at preparing for new ways of working increasing both productivity and quality in multi-partner, European space design projects. With work in different locations in Europe, the new processes encompass CSCW techniques including multimedia communication capabilities and make a broadband trans-European communication system necessary with powerful and flexible services.The main objective of the research was to identify the integrated broadband communications (IBC) services necessary to support distributed collaborative design in the aerospace industry, specially in the spacecraft area. The approach adopted was a simplified representation of an environment for distributed integrated design (EDID) concept with the same basic functional properties, yet which had immediate value for the industry.The research has resulted in the definition of a firm project application from the in depth requirements analysis phase covering all facets of the project's concept. This work has produced a rich set of findings which is key to the continuation of the work.The other technical parts including the information technology (IT) and telecommunications platform, have progressed well in parallel to the requirements phase. IT telecommunications investigations prior to the availability of the requirements have enabled the project to start development work as quickly as possible. Two laboratory sites with the necessary equipment are in place. The communication infrastructure has been defined and is being pursued.Technical Approach The experiment scenario considers a simplified example of a satellite design. The satellite is split into parts designed by different partners. The core scenario addresses the negotiation process between the prime contractor and contributing partners. One example is during the overall design consistency verification, where part designs are integrated and mismatches have to be detected and solved by actors geographically dispersed but collaborating through a technical conferencing environment. Phase I of the project produces a preliminary experiment in a LAN environment, where application, data processing and high speed communication platforms are assembled and validated by the users. Phase II is an evolution of Phase I, where four experimental sites equipped with the local platforms are interconnected through a broadband WAN. Phase II enhances the results of Phase I and complements the experimental platform. A final validation is performed by the three user sites playing specific roles of the scenario. Key Issues EDID addresses user application and telecommunication aspects of Computer Supported Collaborative Work. It focuses on multimedia communication functions and services to support the new Collaborative Design process. Expected Impact The main outcome of the project will be an experimental system validated by the users, providing a sound basis for rapid introduction and exploitation of commercial offerings from all Information.Technology.& Telecommunications sectors concerned. Moreover, the project has been a unique opportunity for the Aerospace sector to fully appreciate the capabilities that IBC really enables.
