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.

We implement and experimentally evaluate landmark-based oracles for min-cost paths in two different types of road networks with time-dependent arc-cost functions, based on distinct real-world historic traffic data: the road network for the metropolitan area of Berlin, and the national road network of Germany. Our first contribution is a significant improvement on the implementation of the FLAT ...

The paper presents a scheme for categorizing knowledge engineering tools. The classification of knowledge acquisition systems has revealed some interesting facts about these systems. It seems that systems which are able to work on multiple tasks produce very shallow (i.e., not of expert-level) knowledge bases. On the other hand, systems which produce expert-level knowledge bases function on a s...
