چکیده
This paper mainly addresses the integration of engineering processes of enterprises performing collaborative product development in the form of virtual enterprise. The virtual enterprise support system with three-tier architecture is proposed first. The workflow process modelling and execution services are located in the business tier as service components. The implementation of information integration and application integration is discussed as the basis for business process integration. The characteristics of Web-based collaborative product development process are analysed, and the corresponding solution for process modelling and integration is proposed. The organization model is build up for assembling a product development team. On these bases, the main steps of implementing the collaborative product development supported with workflow management technology are presented.
