Challenges
in collaborative engineering
Collaborative
engineering is an innovative approach to product development that integrates
widely distributed engineers for virtual collaboration. Proliferation of
Internet with broadband access enables new forms of engineering work. The
progress in information and communication technologies results also in a
paradigm shift, from a traditional manufacturing with strong competition among
key actors, to a new, virtual and agile model with enhanced collaboration.
Collaborative engineering can benefit many engineering disciplines, like:
construction industry, automobile, aerospace, and electronics.
A vision towards globally dispersed engineering teams is getting closer.
Before workstations will be turned into global workbenches many challenging
problems still need to be solved.
Since a number of
years enhanced collaboration is one of major global trends in industry. Still
major problems stay unsolved. The vision for distributed collaborative
engineering remains still a vision, especially in inter-organisational
relationships. Engineers working in different companies have hard time if
they want to create common distributed workflows. One of major obstacles stems
from the fact that collaboration technologies are developed orthogonal to
protection ones, like firewalls. It is well known that distributed workflows
enable to create valued-added chains that support outsourcing. Outsourcing
reduces costs of large companies and integrates SMEs into these value-added chains. It
is expected that proliferation of this engineering paradigm will stimulate
economy. At least many companies are announcing their willingness to
increase substantially the volume of their outsourced tasks.
It
is the aim of this workshop to identify these challenges and envision R&D
strategies to address them. These strategies will be envisioned using
instruments of the recently announced 6th Framework Programme of EU.
The
visionary scenario for collaborative engineering in SoC design domain.
The
tentative list of challenges to be addressed include:
-
Harmonisation
between collaboration and protection. Currently, security assuring
technologies, like firewalls, largely obstacle integration of
dispersed engineers and
their tools.
-
Management
of distributed tools, as long as they belong to different organisations is
critical. Thus, distributed WfMSs that can handle engineering tools are
needed.
-
Context
aware groupware tools that will support distributed teamwork. of
engineers.
-
Benchmarking
in the collaborative engineering domain, is there any need for ?
The
workshop is organised by the E-Colleg IST project.
E-Colleg
motivation
E-Colleg
(IST-1999-11746)
- Advanced Infrastructure for Pan-European Collaborative Engineering
(01.2000-09.2003),
investigates
and develops methods and tools for a collaborative infrastructure. Solutions
that are developed in the project are verified in two industrial scenarios. Both
scenarios comprise real industrial tasks at Infineon Technologies and Thales
Optronique thus constituting a credible test bed for collaborative
experiments.
E-Colleg,
as an organiser of the workshop, is profoundly interested in advancing
collaborative technologies that could be deployed in participating companies and
further on disseminated among SMEs. It is E-Colleg partners strong belief that
the developed technologies will support outsourcing.
It is foreseen that the trend towards outsourcing will continue, and thus
the demand for tools and design methods that will exploit this paradigm of work
will be enforced.
Event
Objectives and
Topics
The
event will address the state-of-the art in collaborative engineering and related
technologies. The
workshop intends at identification and discussion of the requirements towards
collaborative engineering in electronics industry. It will constitute also a
valuable occasion to learn on the relevant results of other related EU
projects, including recent roadmap projects.

Towards 6th
Framework Programme
Collaborative
engineering is definitely a cross discipline technology
that will be addressed in many
initiatives, like Integrated Projects and Networks of Excellence. A panel
will be organised at the workshop that will focus on the most suitable strategy
to advance CE in Europe using the 6FP instruments.

At
the workshop, bound abstracts will be available to participants. Post-workshop
proceedings will be published for which we expect 6 up to 8 pages per contribution. A deadline for
contributions to the post-workshop proceedings is 19.05.2003.
Event
Organization & Venue
The
workshop will be held on April 15-16th
2003 in Poznań, as an accompanying event to DDECS’03 IEEE workshop.
Both events are co-located in the Trawiński hotel in Poznań that will
be exclusively used by participants of both events. By registering to the event
participants gain access to all sessions of both events, receive
proceedings, lunches, and the invitation to the gala dinner.
The
first day of the event will bring the picture of European research projects
related to collaborative
engineering. The following day will look forwards to the future.
While the presentations during the first day will summarise the
experience and results, the follow up day will feature more discussions.
Expected conclusions will be related to the deployment of the 6FP instruments to
CE.
Abstracts
of presentations accepted by the Workshop Programme Committee will be available
at the workshop. Post-workshop proceedings will be prepared and published by a
Polish university press publisher.
DDECS’03
The workshop will accompany the DDECS03 event, i.e. the IEEE
Workshop on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems that will
be held in the same place on April 14-16th, 2003.
DDECS
is a forum for presenting and discussing trends, emerging results, practical
applications, and hot topics in the areas of design, test and diagnosis of
microelectronic circuits and systems. The workshop was held annually in Central
European countries: Czech Republic (1997, 2002), Poland (1998), Slovakia (2000)
and Hungary (2001). The sixth edition of the workshop will take place in Poznań,
one of the oldest cities in Poland, the leading industrial, cultural, and
academic centre of the Wielkopolska region.
The
detailed information on DDECS’03 is available on:
www.et.put.poznan.pl/~ddecs03
All
participants are expected to register to DDECS workshop.
