چکیده
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This article presents the E-COLLEG Tool Registration and Management Services (TRMS) with open XML-based data exchange, tool integration and remote invocation capabilities. TRMS is a workflow management middleware tailored to distance spanning engineering collaboration and security enabled data exchange. The infrastructure is validated through two industrial Intranet-crossing case studies between Polish, French, and German chip manufacturing industries applying real-world development scenarios. In both application scenarios, common engineering practices have been identified and built into engineering workflows. Further, the current truly pan-European collaborative industrial scenarios show promising results with respect to the stability of the implemented software and easy application and flexibility of the provided interfaces.
