This superb study offers insights into the methods and techniques that enable the implementation of a Collaborative Engineering concept on product design. It does so by integrating capabilities for intelligent information support and group decision-making, utilizing a common enterprise network model and knowledge interface through shared ontologies. The book is also a collection of the latest applied methods and technology from selected experts in this area.

Collaborative Engineering for Product Design and Development provides an in depth analysis of the collaborative technologies, processes and methodologies to support the product design and development process. The materials covered in the textbook attempt to integrate leading edge research concepts in collaborative product development with current practices in the real world. The book is written by renowned experts in the field of collaborative product development and provided total coverage of current technologies and tools and their applications to the product development. The book is an excellent text and a perfect reference for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, engineers and practitioners in the field of collaborative product design, development and engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering and computer integrated manufacturing.

Collaborative Product Design and Manufacturing Methodologies and Applications introduces a wide spectrum of collaborative engineering issues in design and manufacturing. It offers state-of-the-art chapters written by international experts from academia and industry, and reflects the most up-to-date R & D work and applications, especially those from the last three to five years. The book will serve as an essential reference for academics, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and practicing professionals.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering, CDVE 2020, held in Bangkok, Thailand, in October 2020.* The 33 full papers and 7 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The achievement, progress and future challenges are reported in areas such as health care, industrial design, banking IT systems, cultural activities support, operational maritime cybersecurity assurance, emotion communication, and social network data analytics. * The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2003, held in Oviedo, Spain in July 2003. The 25 revised full papers and 73 short papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 190 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on agents on the Web, e-commerce, e-learning, human-computer interaction, languages and tools, mobility and the Web, multimedia techniques and telecommunications, security, Web quality and testing, semantic Web, and Web applications development.

Collaborative Network Organizations (CNO) corresponds to a very active and steadily growing area. For instance, Virtual enterprises/Virtual Organizations (PVC) suggest new ways of work and put the emphasis on collaborative networks of human actors. Further to these main lines, other collaborative forms and patterns of collaborative behavior are emerging, not only in industry, but also in service sector, as well as governmental and non-government social organizations, e.g. the collaborative networks for rescue tasks in disaster situations, time bank organizations, etc. The concept of breeding environment is now understood as a fundamental entity to enable dynamic collaborative organizations.

These proceedings represent trends in Product Development concerning industrial vendors and scientific research aspects. Coverage includes the following topics are covered: Design Theory, Product Design, Requirements, Collaborative Engineering, Complex Design, Mechatronics, Reverse Engineering, Virtual Prototyping, CAE, KBE and PLM. The papers presented in this book show that answers can only be composed out of a variety of solutions where psychological, economical and technical research results are taken into account.

Industry and society are complex socio-technical systems, and both face problems that can only be solved by collaboration between different disciplines. Collaboration between academia and practice is also needed to develop viable solutions. Many engineering problems also require such an approach, which is known as Transdisciplinary Engineering (TE). This book presents the proceedings of the 26th ISTE International Conference on Transdisciplinary Engineering, held in Tokyo, Japan, from 30 July - 1 August 2019. The title of the conference was: Transdisciplinary Engineering for Complex Socio-technical Systems, and of the 86 submitted papers, 68 peer-reviewed papers by authors from 17 countries were delivered at the conference. These papers range from theoretical and conceptual to strongly pragmatic. They address industrial best practice and are grouped here under 10 themes: advanced robotics for smart manufacturing; design of personalized products and services; engineering methods for industry 4.0; additive and subtractive manufacturing; decision supporting tools and methods; complex systems engineering; big data analytics in manufacturing and services; concurrent engineering; cost modeling; and digital manufacturing, modeling and simulation. Presenting the latest research results and knowledge of product creation processes and related methodologies, the book will be of interest to researchers, design practitioners, and educators alike.

Addresses a range of e-collaboration topics, with emphasis on virtual team leadership and collaborative engineering. Presents a blend of conceptual, theoretical, and applied chapters.

Digital Enterprise Technology (DET) is more than a concept. Companies arc facing new challenges in a context where the references are mostly numerical. Nowadays, digital methods and tools arc widely generalized. DET 2008 allowed excellent exchanges about "the collection of systems and methods for the digital modelling and analysis of the global product development and realisation process, in the context of lifecycle management". This book of proceedings gives a short vices of the keynotes and proposes the text of the papers that have been presented during DET 2008. This gives a clear view of the actual state of the art and of the industrial needs. This book of proceedings is organized with respect to the topics that were addressed during the conference.
