What is it about?
This paper details an approach and framework definition that is aimed at making it easier to perform difficult design tasks collaboratively. Examples of such difficult tasks are the design and optimization of products like aircraft, spacecraft, and wind turbines. These products are complex as they require the design knowledge of multiple experts in very different fields of engineering to get to a good product. The approach and framework described in this paper helps to combine the knowledge of all these experts in one analysis system.

Why is it important?
This work is important because at the moment it is still too difficult to truly combine different disciplines into one system to fully analyze a complex product in all its different facets. The approach presented in the paper provides a way of enabling this.
Perspectives
I hope that the article will serve as an inspiration for people who are trying to tackle similar problems in collaborative design projects and can help them to avoid "reinventing the wheel".
