Visual Management (VM) supporting collaborative practices in infrastructure engineering design

An advanced infrastructure for collaborative engineering in electronic design automation

Engineering collaboration gets its new global dimension with the omnipotent access to Internet. Engineers have severe requirements concerning: security of design data, quality of net connections, easiness of collaboration, etc. This article presents visions and middleware architecture to establish pan-European collaborative engineering infrastructure and its application in the field of Electron...

Supporting Effective Collaborative Engineering

Facilitating and managing the development and application of effective shared work practice in distributed teams remain a key challenge for effective collaborative engineering. We propose integrated support for project management, collaboration and engineering activities through dedicated task patterns, which are combined into a holistic model of collaborative engineering practice. Flexible ena...

Supporting conflict management in collaborative design: An approach to assess engineering change impacts

It is characteristic of collaborative engineering design that precedence relationships among design activities contain information flow conflicts. Due to multi-actors interaction, conflicts can emerge from disagreements between designers about proposed designs. Hence, a critical element of collaborative design is tomanage the detected conflicts and particularly the impacts once they are resolve...

Towards Visual User Interfaces Supporting Collaborative Multi Media Content Management

Supporting collaborative multimedia content management activities, as e.g., image and video acquisition, exploration, and access dialogues between naive users and multi media information systems is a non-trivial task. Although a wide variety of experimental and prototypical multimedia storage technologies as well as corresponding indexing and retrieval engines are available, most of them lack a...
