CCE’06 hosts this year a special Industrial Day that will provide industrial perspectives on new ways of working applying innovative web-platforms for collaborative design, engineering and task management. This year’s focus will be on collaborative design approaches and platforms as being prototyped and piloted in industry. Two EU projects: MAPPER, see www.mapper-ist.org, and VCES, see www.v-ces.com, will present their approaches, methodologies, platforms and industrial pilot solutions.

Designers, engineers and industrial practitioners are invited to join this Industrial Day.
