چکیده
AIT-VEPOP (IST-1999-13346) is a European Research Project within the IST Programme of 5 Framework. The project is scheduled from July 2000 to June 2002. Members of the AITVEPOP consortium are EADS CCR (co-ordinator), Airbus GmbH, Astrium GmbH, Flowmaster Ltd., CNAM, University of Oulu, and DFKI. AIT-VEPOP deals with issues of cooperative work and concurrent engineering with respect to the use of virtual prototypes in the early design phases of an aircraft. The here presented paper is a position paper. It focuses on the AIT-VEPOP project objectives and describes the requirements and characteristics of a common platform for early virtual prototyping. The requirements result from use case scenarios that are stated in this paper.
