CHALLENGES IN COLLABORATIVE ENGINEERING (CCE'07)

Coordination of Collaborative Engineering: State of the Art and Future Challenges

11th-13th April, 2007

Kraków, Poland
in conjunction with DDECS'07

Event Objectives

The 5th anniversary of the workshop series on challenges in collaborative engineering will focus on an essential aspect of collaboration: the coordination of work in dispersed groups. Collaborative Engineering aims at providing concepts, technologies and solutions for supporting work in dispersed engineering teams. The increased industrial demand for this innovative approach is based on the fact that networked organization structures 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.

As in the previous years, the CCE workshop will have a special focus within collaborative engineering, but contributions from all areas are encouraged. In its 2007 edition, focus of CCE will be on coordination. An understanding of the coordination demand from different engineering domains is crucial for providing adequate organizational and technical support. This is reflected in the main aspects to be covered CCE'07:

socio-technical aspects: understanding user demand and best practices of coordination in engineering teams; coordination and collaborative learning; handling multi-cultural issues in coordination
technical aspects: designing and creating coordination tools and services; awareness support and coordination; coordination mechanisms for specific domains and application fields; integration of coordination mechanisms in existing engineering environments
organizational and economic aspects: measuring benefits of collaboration; organizational aspects and guidelines for coordination; intellectual property sharing and protection

The workshop aims at presenting concepts, technologies, and solutions for collaborative engineering. Researchers, practitioners and tool developers are invited to contribute to the workshop by presenting application problems, giving experience reports, or by introducing concepts, methods, and solutions. Priority will be given to contributions including industrial cases, but submissions from all areas of collaborative engineering are encouraged:

case studies and best practices in coordination of distributed engineering work
social aspects of collaboration teams
architectures and technologies for coordination support solutions
organizational learning and collaborative engineering
integration of knowledge management, groupware and product development
communities of practice
knowledge supply and information logistic support
coordination support for distributed engineering teams
coordination requirements for specific engineering fields and for heterogeneous engineering teams
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 and concepts

All submitted papers will be reviewed by the CCE07 programme committee. Authors will be notified on acceptance/rejection of their papers by March 13th.

All accepted papers will be included in the two step publishing process of the post-workshop proceedings that will appear in LNI-series:

Accepted papers will be made available at the workshop in a form of "Workshop materials" to encourage discussions at the workshop
Authors will be asked to prepare final papers by May 30th, 2007. Authors will be thus able to improve their papers based on the feedback they receive from the CCE audience. Final papers will be checked by the editors of the CCE07 proceedings. Authors may be asked to introduce some changes to the papers by June 30th in order to comply with standard quality requirements of the LNI-series publisher where the CCE07 proceedings will be published.

Venue

The workshop will be held in Kraków in the magnificent historical building of Collegium Maius at the Jagiellonian University. Collegium Maius is located at Jagiellonska street nb. 15.
The university was founded in 1364 by Kazimierz III the Great as "Akademia Krakowska" and is among the oldest universities in Europe and in the world - the second oldest in Central Europe (after the University of Prague). Collegium Maius is very close to the city center of Kraków.

DDECS'07

The CCE'07 workshop will accompany the DDECS'07 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 11th-13st, 2007.
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, 2006), Poland (1998, 2003), Slovakia (2000, 2004), and Hungary (2001, 2005).
