Chip requires often integration of large teams of engineers who work in remote locations. Seamless and secure integration of distant tools across different organization over the Internet is still one of major challenges that obstacles efficient engineering collaboration. The paper explains the main element of the advanced collaborative infrastructure that supports integration of distributed engineering tools. It constitutes TRMS (Tool Registration and Management Services) which are scalable, easily accessible, secure, and available on different platforms due to their implementation in Java. Requirements on TRMS, its architecture and functionality, as well as conclusions stemming from first deployments are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
