Abstract
This paper discusses the correlation between characteristics of the design process and the determination of PLM architectures. Based on first results from ongoing research activities with industrial partners, a process-oriented approach to the determination of PLM architectures is presented. This approach helps to analyze processes - especially design processes - and to develop - based on the results of this analysis - suitable PLM architectures. Future work will focus mainly on a transfer of the concept to a more abstract process level and on the formalization of the presented approach.

DESIGN 2008 Conference was founded on the continuous development of organization and evaluation procedure that resulted in a capacity to deliver procedures and conditions of communicative competence. To assist the process of development for the engineering design research community the organizers of DESIGN 2008 propsed seven core areas for the conference as described below. It was required explicitly from all contributors to show how they are contributing to the overall area to emerge communities...
