Fundamental in engineering design is the notion that collaboration is useful to reduce total project development time and increase design quality. Collaborative design is a collection of the co-operated efforts undertaken by a team of designers. Due to multi-actors interaction, conflicts can emerge from disagreements between designers about proposed designs. Therefore, a critical element of collaborative design would be conflict resolution. In this paper, a process meta-model based methodology is introduced to support conflict management. This methodology provides identification of the conflict resolution team and evaluation of the impact of a selected solution. The proposed process model allows the design process traceability and the data dependences network management to achieve conflict management.
