After describing the main deficits and dangers of such development situations a modelling approach using the Systems Modelling Language (SysML) is shown. The approach focuses on the generation of a requirements model as a basis for discussion and analysis of the real project aims. A short and simplified example from the field of parallel robots illustrates the approach.enCopyright: Cranfield University 2009Requirements managementcollaborative networksdesign methodologyparallel robotsConference paper
