Summary
This paper proposes an approach for consensus identification during the real interactions in collaborative and distributed design process. For that, from real experiments, the process of collaborative and distributed design is analyzed. Then, based on this analysis, a formal model to represent the consensus is proposed. The analysis of design experiments shows that a design solution is a multiple of consensus solution-nucleus rather than a consensus solution. Based on the concept of consensus and its properties, the actors can be assisted to move towards the consensus improvement or towards the ideal consensus. The concept of consensus is used to evaluate the choice of a solution in terms of consensus and dilemmas; to assist the redesigning of a part or the whole solution according to consensual criteria and to capitalize and share the know-how of the various actors.
