EU-China Cooperative Project

DRAGON: Development of an

InteRActive EnGineering Portal for Open Networks

Background and Objectives of DRAGON The way of co-operation between companies is of strategic

significance, especially with regard to enable the co-operation of enterprises situated in different locations and having a different cultural background. The main problem is to provide information that is necessary for

the common product development process without disclosing internal know-how.

The goal of the DRAGON project is to provide an overall framework to support common virtual product development processes between European and Chinese companies. The aim is to share only a necessary and sufficient subset of

information.

Central QuestionWhat is the necessary and sufficient subset of information

that has to be shared during a common product development process without disclosing internal know-how?
