This paper describes the use of the Internet and World-Wide Web (WWW) as a means for disseminating information and enabling collaborative working in a Concurrent Engineering (CE) environment. It discusses the authors architecture for a concurrent engineering support environment, the CONCERT environment, and describes the implementation of a WWW-based interface to this environment.

The importance of Concurrent Engineering is rising as businesses compete in the global market. primary variables that influence a company's success are reduction time spent on product creation, improvement quality, production costs, and satisfaction consumers. idea has to be put into practice if high-quality goods produced. It methodical strategy succeeds when all design tasks combined carried ...

An engineering design process may involve software modules that can executed concurrently. Concurrent modules can be very easily subject to some synchronization errors. This paper discusses verification process for such engineering software. We present a method for verification that requires several steps. First, the state diagram models are constructed that describe the design iterations and i...

This paper presents a brief overview of the various aspects of concurrent engineering. The basic elements of the Concurrent Engineering practice in today’s competitive world have been presented with special emphasis on its main advantages and constraints. Finally, a case study elucidating the successful implementation of this practice at Denver Works is discussed.

In this paper, we propose a novel software interoperability framework, termed “agent-based”, that addresses many important issues critical to effective concurrent engineering. We demonstrate how concurrent engineering is supported using Designworld, an environment for total product engineering built using the agent-based framework. 1.0 Introduction Today’s software infrastructures are inadequat...

According to the requirements of concurrent engineering, three interdependency relationships (uncoupled relationship, coupled relationship and decoupled relationship) between design activities are presented in this paper. And the coupled relationship plays an important role in concurrent product design process. To represent the precedence relationships among design activities, a directed graph ...
