Enviroment Modelling for Concurrent Engineering

The research and development in the area of computer integrated construction have looked at various fragments of the domain to be used as a glue for the integration of the profession. Examples of these fragments include products and processes. In this paper, environment modelling is suggested, as an approach that provides a more complete picture of the domain requires the support of information...

A Framework for Concurrent Simulation Engineering

This paper presents a generic framework for Concurrent Simulation Engineering (CSE). Based upon the general principles of Concurrent Engineering (CE), concurrent alternatives to the hitherto mainly linear, multiple feedback Modelling/Simulation/Validation process are proposed. Characteristics, merits and requirements of CE lead to the discussion of the actual framework, accentuating the need fo...

A Framework for a Knowledge-Based System for Risk Management in Concurrent Engineering

Knowledge is a requirement for concurrent engineering, and therefore an approach to capture and organise the different knowledge to be taken into account in concurrent engineering is proposed. This approach, known as the "MEthodology for Knowledge Engineering for Concurrent Engineering" (MEKECE) is a dedicated application of knowledge engineering methodologies to concurrent engineering that inv...

Implementation of a generic concurrent engineering environment framework for boatbuilding

Boatbuilding is a growth market with global competition and tight profit margins. Concurrent engineering is not presently prevalent within the boatbuilding industry and yet this is a technique that has found much success in other industries. A methodology has therefore been developed to aid design in the leisure boatbuilding industry. This environment uses collaborative engineering and automate...
