Abstract
Product development cycles are greatly shortened and subjected to a growing competitive pressure. In parallel, product and process complexities are increasing. This situation requires new organizational concepts in order to satisfy evolutionary market demand. The various design actors, provided with diverse expertise and culture, are therefore invited to collaborate more closely, in order to perform an effective product design. It is then, that the collaborative design process re-groups actors which have to achieve a common objective: develop a product via interactions, information and knowledge sharing, along with a certain level of co-ordination of the various activities. This paper will show how organization and co-ordination of projects are possible, thanks to the use of design environments, which are adapted to each design context. We will focus particularly on the study of various collaborative forms and collaborative knowledge to manage design environments.
