Event Objectives

CCE’04 is the 2nd event in a series of workshops dedicated to industrial practices and new technologies for collaborative engineering. It follows CCE'03 that took place in Poznañ, Poland in April 2003. 

Collaborative Engineering aims at providing concepts, technologies and solutions for product development in dispersed engineering teams. The increased industrial demand for this innovative approach is based on the fact that networked organization structures (e.g. enterprises with several branches, networks of SMEs, or virtual organizations) are common practice in numerous industry sectors, like automobile, aerospace, electronics or construction. Collaboration has become a key issue for agile and flexible engineering processes. 

The next CCE workshop will focus on the integration challenge in industrial collaborative engineering. Although system integration and organizational integration have been subject to research in computer science and economic sciences since more than a decade, we still see a number of unsolved problems from the industrial perspective, including:

- Application integration: groupware tools supporting communication and cooperation within engineering teams and product development environments (e.g. PLM platforms or product design tools) co-exist in most distributed engineering teams without a sufficient integration. How can new technologies like web services or middleware approaches contribute to closing this gap?

- Knowledge integration: to reach the same understanding of technical terms and to reach the same level of awareness for existing knowledge is a non-trivial task in distributed engineering teams. Especially in newly formed teams, this lack of integration can lead to a serious decline in productivity. How can semantic web technologies contribute to avoid these problems?

Integration of research communities

- Process integration: product development projects usually include various task areas, like engineering, quality assurance or controlling. Additionally, modern enterprises also strive for continuous improvement and corporate learning, which has to be integrated into the development projects. How can approaches like Enterprise Modeling contribute to this challenge?

This workshop aims at presenting concepts, technologies, and solutions for collaborative engineering in an industrial context. Researchers, software developers and end users are invited to contribute to the discussion by presenting application problems, giving experience reports, or by introducing concepts, methods, and software solutions. Priority will be given to contributions focusing on integration challenges in collaborative engineering.

Workshop  Topics

 We are particularly interested in papers addressing one or more of the following topics:

 

*  best practices in distributed engineering work

*  coordination support for distributed engineering teams

*  architectures and technologies for application integration

*  web services in collaborative engineering

*  integration of groupware and product development environments

*  use of enterprise models or active knowledge models

*  knowledge supply and information logistic support

*  distributed workflow and process management

*  security issues and concepts

*  web-based electronic design environments

*  middleware for internet‑based solutions

*  systems for the integration of geographically distributed tools and applications

*  standards for exchange formats/protocols

*  legal, security and IP aspects

DDECS’04

The  CCE'04 workshop will accompany the DDECS'04 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 18-21th, 2004. 

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, 2003), Slovakia (2000),  and Hungary (2001). The workshop in Tatranska Lomnica will be the seventh edition of this event.
