Abstract

In a large-scale computer-supported cooperative design (CSCD) system, sometimes thousands of involved participants cooperate to design a complex product, which makes the network for the joint effort extremely complicated. It is difficult to detect and resolve conflicts because of strong and complicated conflicts among participants in this system. The traditional conflict resolution methodology which has been applied in a relatively small-scale cooperative system is inapplicable in a large-scale one. A conflict resolution methodology in a large-scale computer-supported cooperative design system is presented in this paper. The main contributions of this paper are: (1) simplifying the conflict model of a large-scale computer-supported cooperative design system in accordance with complex system theories; (2) presenting a merging conflict strategy model based on the complex system theories; (3) showing the role assignment mechanism in the merging conflict strategy system based on complex system theories.
