non-succeeding options are eliminated in early stages and efforts can be focused.
Secondly, the process enables an evolutionary building on established methods and
tools.
Further activities are required to enhance the capabilities of the presented
approach. The elaboration of technical interfaces between domain-specific tools
will accelerate the information exchange in the proposed manner. Coincidently, the
identification of further interdisciplinary trade-offs will be enabled. Yet a small
number of case studies have confirmed the presented approach. Within the
public-private partnership Open Hybrid LabFactory further experience through
implementation and adaption will be generated. The communication between disciplines could be enhanced by providing visualizations that enable a low barrier
accessibility of the research results. One key facility at the Open Hybrid LabFactory
is the newly established ‘Life Cycle Design & Engineering Lab’, a workspace to
explore modes of cross-discipline cooperation and visualisation techniques in order
to support and promote integrated LCE.
