ABSTRACT
One of the main demands to a research project is a verification of the scientific foundation on which the research is elaborated – often called state of the art analysis. Science should be considered a procedure used for answering questions, solving problems, and developing increasingly efficient ways in which to answer questions and solve problems. The scientific view of the research project can be traced back to the French philosopher and mathematician Réné Descartes. The objectives of basic scientific research are to produce new knowledge “for the sake of knowledge itself”. The research view considers various points of view such as the business economic view, the technical view, the customer view etc. The different “research ideas” and the different possibilities were considered and evaluated in the research idea gate. The research development gate was a very brief phase and much of research development was carried out as a kind of “on the market” development or as a direct process development.
