Abstract

Engineering design is conventionally regarded as a mono actor optimization problem and modeled accordingly. Decision making, values and optimality are building blocks of conventional engineering design. However with the advent of decentralized decision making processes, various actors are more likely to be involved in decision making processes in engineering design. As a response in this paper we attempt to claim that engineering design is inherently multi actor and has game-like characteristics. Accordingly a research agenda is put forward.
