Abstract

THE purpose of SPD is to "improve traditional distributed and collaborative design processes" by enhancing "communication and collaboration (...) through social computing techniques"121. The tenants of SPD involve external individuals (e.g. crowdsourcing) or allow the involvement of external individuals (e.g. cloud-based design and manufacture) as an integral member of the design process13'. In this article, the need for SPD in industry is first presented before each tenant and its relationship with the term SPD is described. Following this, successful examples of SPD in industry are described and a case is made for an SPD framework to assist further industry adoption of SPD.
