  abstract = {Today's product development projects require collaboration across
	different engineering domains in order to be successful. For instance,
	a project may require software engineers to collaborate with electrical
	engineers and mechanical engineers. Even though engineers of different
	domains focus on different parts of the system-under-development,
	these parts typically cannot work in isolation. Therefore, coordination
	among these engineers is necessary to ensure that the individual
	parts of a system work together well when combined. The lack of such
	coordination leads to inconsistencies and hence the inability to
	integrate individual parts of the system. Even though approaches
	for finding such inconsistencies have been developed, it has yet
	to be shown whether the presentation of inconsistencies is of actual
	value to engineers. In this paper, we present the results of a practical
	experiment that assessed the effects of the presence of inconsistent
	information during development. The results indicate that specific
	feedback about inconsistency (when performing changes) leads to better
	engineering results than merely presenting general information about
	system interconnections.},
