“…In a situation when designers are working for different sub-assemblies, Shyamsundar and Gadh [60] and Chen et al [61] defined a set of new assembly representations to constrain the design assemblies assigned to individual designers, further to form a whole collaboratively developed assembly. Meanwhile, methodologies to detect and manage conflicts arising from a collaborative activity are investigated [62,63].…”

“…That is, the scientists and engineers in their study tended to choose communication methods based on a principle of least effort. Furthermore, collaboration technologies are necessary to overcome the inherent impedance to communication encountered by distributed design teams (Case and Lu 1996). Examples of this impedance are network delays and different protocols, or rules determining the format and transmission of data, between environments.…”

“…In distributed agent design work, it is suggested that cohesion and efficient operation in distributed design teams requires more computational design support versus the needs of non-distributed teams (Prasad et al 1998, Lees et al 2001. Research in communication impedance, or the difficulty in communicating when teams are not collocated, supports this supposition (Case and Lu 1996). Table 6.…”

“…This distribution offers additional challenges to efficient coordination of the design team. When information is distributed across geographic or organisational boundaries, supplementary resources, such as a sufficient information technology infrastructure, information management tools, and communication aids, are typically required to facilitate information exchange (Case andLu 1996, Deus 2000). These issues will be discussed in more detail in Section 3.5.…”

Development of a systematic classification and taxonomy of collaborative design activities

An interdisciplinary review of literature relevant to collaborative design is used as a basis to propose a taxonomy for the classification of collaborative design situations. The taxonomy includes top-level attributes of team composition, communication, distribution, design approach, information, and nature of the problem. Three taxonomic-oriented measures are introduced and used to evaluate the taxonomy: orthogonality, completeness, and usability. This taxonomy is an initial step towards the creation of new agent-based collaborative support tools structured upon a fundamental understanding of the collaborative process with a theoretical foundation. More significantly, the taxonomy provides a valuable way of organising the research literature in collaborative design that is at present dispersed across many domains and disciplines.

Web-Enabled Knowledge-Intensive Support Framework for Collaborative Design of MEMS

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) design and manufacturing are inherently multi-physical and multi-disciplinary; no single person is able to perform a full development process for a MEM device or system. This chapter presents a web-enabled design platform for collaborative design of MEMS. The proposed web-based distributed object modeling and evaluation framework with client-knowledge server architecture, KS-DMME, allows multi-users/designers in different locations to participate in the same design process. Under this framework, concurrent integrated MEMS design and simulation models can be built using both local and distributed resources, and the design collaboration can be realized by exchanging services between modules based upon CORBA standard communication protocol. To facilitate the rapid construction of the concurrent integrated design models for MEMS, a prototype web-enabled design system, Web-MEMS Designer, is implemented through concurrent integration of multiple distributed and cooperative knowledge sources and software. By use of the developed prototype system, MEMS design and simulation can be carried out simultaneously and intelligently in an integrated but open design environment on the web. A case study of a microgripper design for micro robotic assembly systems is provided to illustrate how designers in different teams and organizations may participate and collaborate in MEMS design.
