Abstract
The coordination of design systems is based on various coordination modes. Prescriptive activity sequences and negotiation around intermediary objects are complementary approaches to solve this issue. Both are involved in real design projects. Models to support this global coordination are often centred on one of the two approaches. Indeed models are rarely complete enough to handle all the complexity of both. This paper focuses on a quite new technology providing the opportunity to build a model simultaneously to its instantiation. This technology, based on the concept of dynamic entities, is adapted to be shared between designers working from remote areas. Then we propose to use this technology to support coordination design in distributed organisations. Dynamic entities provide a way to complete and adapt a model according to the continuously negotiated context and free the system for being configured on very specific design modes.
