Abstract
This paper presents a service marketplace vision for enterprise-wide integrated design
modeling. In this environment, expert participants and product development
organizations are empowered to publish their geometric design, CAE, manufacturing, or
marketing capabilities as live services that are operable over the Internet. These services
are made available through a service marketplace. Product developers, small or large, can
subscribe to and flexibly inter-relate these services to embody a distributed product
development organization, while simultaneously creating system models that allow the
prediction and analysis of integrated product performance. It is hypothesized that product
development services will become commodities, much like many component-level
products are today. It will be possible to rapidly interchange equivalent design service
providers so that the development of the product and the definition of the product
development organization become part of the same process. Computer-aided design tools
will evolve to facilitate the publishing of live design services. A research prototype
system called DOME is used to illustrate the concept and a pilot study with Ford Motor
Company is used in a preliminary assessment of the vision.
