Solutions for challenges in global collaborative product development

چکیده
The size and complexity of embedded systems is increasing rapidly, making it difficult for companies to develop all the required functionality alone. On the other hand, experience has shown that traditional single-company development technologies do not support collaborative product development well. Thus, by improving the collaborative way of working, the competitiveness of software-intensive product developing companies can be increased; for example, they can use subcontractors for simple tasks and focus their own effort on innovative new products. In this innovation report, two solutions to enhance the productivity of collaborative product development are introduced: Merlin Handbook and ToolChain. These solutions have been developed in the three-year Merlin project (no 03010) [1].
