A New Paradigm of Engineering Work Enabled by Internet-based Virtual Organisations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent ICT developments have resulted in emergence of new forms of net-based organizations. Those organizations, often called Virtual Organizations (VOs), aim at supporting engineering work by offering to engineers new on-line services that should enhance their creativity and efficiency. The paper highlights a new paradigm of collaborative engineering work that is enabled by VOs' services. These services, as well as, the organizations offering them, i.e.: engineering-related e-commerce VOs, information brokers for engineers, engineering networks, and virtual libraries, are outlined in the paper. Conclusions envision a potential impact of these new technologies onto engineering work.
