Conception collaborative et intégrée (CCI)

The objective of the PEPR eNSEMBLE (The Future of Digital Collaboration) is to fundamentally redefine digital tools dedicated to collaboration. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to invent mixed collaboration spaces (both physical and digital) that do not merely reproduce the physical world in virtual environments. These spaces will allow co-located and/or geographically dispersed teams to work together fluidly and efficiently. Within the framework of the PEPR eNSEMBLE, the G-SCOP laboratory obtained two thesis funding grants:

- The first thesis aims to understand the influence of visual metaphors on multidisciplinary cognitive and collaborative activities in conceptual co-design. The methodological objective is to propose a protocol for evaluating visual metaphors as well as metrics to measure cognitive and collaborative activities during a computer-mediated multidisciplinary conceptual co-design activity. Contact: Romain Pinquié
- The second thesis (contributing to the PC4 axis) is dedicated to the co-design of citizen platforms for shared risk management at the territorial scale. This thesis is conducted in collaboration with the social sciences (PACTE laboratory) and management sciences (COACTIS laboratory). Contact: Cédric Masclet

This PEPR TRACCS project studies the systemic adaptation strategies of territories facing a +4°C global warming by 2100, focusing on the Alps and the Jura. It combines social sciences, participatory approaches, and socio-climatic narratives to co-construct local solutions, particularly regarding agriculture, mobility, and public policies. The team's contribution focuses on the work package responsible for experimenting with and disseminating narrative methods for local public decision-making.

The Engineering Digital Twin (EDT) research program carries the vision of a future where digital twins are seamlessly integrated into engineering processes to enable unprecedented levels of analysis, optimization, and innovation in numerous fields. By tackling fundamental scientific challenges and structuring a collaborative ecosystem, EDT aims to lay the foundation for the next generation of digital twin technologies that are robust, adaptable, and ethically responsible. In this project, G-SCOP, in partnership with IRIT, contributes to the development of methods and tools for adapting interactive input systems (keyboard, mouse, touch, controllers, ad hoc, etc.) to the tasks of diverse users with varied profiles who use different interactive output systems (PC screen, VR headset, touch screen wall, CAVE, etc.) during the lifecycle of a digital twin.

Towards small, versatile, and local factories in urban environments, to co-create and produce customized products in small batches. This project aims to develop a model and requirements to support LAUDS factories based on the maker space model. Academic partners: TU Berlin, HSU Hamburg, ZSI, Inova+, SUPSI, University of Lorraine, University Grenoble Alpes (G-SCOP).

The ANR EquipEx+ CONTINUUM project (IA-21-ESRE-0030) is supported by the CNRS as part of the 4th Future Investment Program (PIA4). Endowed with €13.6M, the project creates a collaborative research infrastructure of 30 platforms located throughout France in order to advance interdisciplinary research between computer science and the humanities and social sciences. Thanks to CONTINUUM, 37 research teams are developing cutting-edge research focused on visualization, immersion, interaction, and collaboration, as well as on human perception, cognition, and behavior in virtual/augmented reality.

The project will provide scientists, engineers, and industrial users with a network of high-performance visualization and immersion platforms to observe, manipulate, understand, and share digital data, multi-scale simulations, and virtual or augmented experiences.

The immersive human-systems interactions laboratory (MIMESIS'Lab) is a joint research laboratory between the G-SCOP UMR 5272 laboratory and the software publisher SKYREAL. Our research aims to understand how humans represent and interact with different types of design information, and to develop natural and visually rich 3D human-machine interactions to improve human-centered system architecture activities. Short-term objectives include the development of new collaborative and multimodal 3D modeling interfaces to review complex system architectures, explore and manage architectural data, and co-design product-process architectures of complex industrial systems.

The ASEEC project of the PRC ECO-SD hypothesizes that integrating sobriety principles into eco-design practices can positively influence the perception and adoption of sustainability approaches in companies, associations, communities... In a constructivist approach, articulated around interviews, workshops, and experiments with companies, this project aims to strengthen the adoption of sustainable approaches by designers by proposing a training and support module that operationalizes the integration of sobriety into existing design methods and tools.

The SATIABLE project (ANR SAPS-RA-RP2) aims to develop a participatory science methodology around the human and societal challenges of technological innovation, taking energy sobriety as a case study. It brings together researchers, citizens, and local stakeholders to co-construct desirable energy sobriety scenarios for 2050, via retrospection, empowerment, and projection workshops.

The ACCEL 4.0 project is a PIA that aims to develop innovative training and support systems combining the industrial, academic, and scientific ecosystem in a co-construction approach. It relies on a consortium of five committed partners: UIMM Ain, Grenoble INP – UGA, the AFPMA training center, and the Carriat polyvalent high school.

Continuing the work of the immersive human-systems interactions laboratory (MIMESIS'Lab) joint to the G-SCOP laboratory (UMR 5272) and the software publisher SKYREAL, the GAIA XR project aims to develop an open collaborative platform for the synchronization of immersive universes, allowing the exchange of different types of heterogeneous content throughout the product lifecycle, on multi-platform environments. G-SCOP will focus on the immersive and interactive exploration of heterogeneous design data. It will develop immersive visualization experiences for the navigation and exploration of complex data, integrating multidimensional representations of information.

The objectives of the joint research project AI-Driven Engineering Assistance System (AIDEAS) between the IRT Saint-Exupéry and G-SCOP are twofold. First, it aims to fine-tune large language models to adapt a generative conversational AI to system architecture activities. Second, the objective is to define guidelines for the design and evaluation of interactions between a system engineer and a conversational generative AI.
