In contrast, Live-Labs are validation environments that promise a high degree of external validity, but have not yet been able to systematically justify it. This article presents a procedure model and a categorisation framework that allows existing Live-Labs to be designed in such a way that the transferability of the results of Live-Lab studies to companies can be optimiseden1847-9073Proceedings of the international design conference20181324Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval ArchitectureTechnikLive-labs as real-world validation environments for design methodsJournal Article10.21278/idc.2018.0303Other
