TL;DR
The needs and identified shortcomings which lead to potential future research directions are focused on and a brief review of the history and current trends in MDO are provided to set the discussion in its proper context.
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to provide suggestions and stimulus for future research in the field of Multidisciplinary Design Optimization. The paper is based in part on observations from the 2006 European-U.S. Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) Colloquium that was hosted by the German Aerospace Center in Goettingen, Germany, 1719 May 2006. Seventy participants from industry, academia and government attended the workshop which featured a rich set of presentations, short contributions and discussions. Rather than dwelling extensively on past accomplishments and current capabilities of MDO we focus on the needs and identified shortcomings which lead to potential future research directions. Nevertheless, a brief review of the history and current trends in MDO are provided to set the discussion in its proper context.
