SPECIAL SESSION V

 

 

e-Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems

 

Paper Submission Deadline:  October 15, 2003

 

 

 

 

 

Brief Description:

This session will examine research in e-Design and realization of engineered products and systems involving conceptualizing, designing and realizing a product using tools that allow for interoperability of remote and heterogeneous systems, collaboration among remote supply chain and multidisciplinary enterprise product design team stakeholders, and virtual testing and validation of a product in a secure Internet based information infrastructure. 

 

Presentations may center on issues such as: collaborative and interoperable tools for Internet based designer systems, lean data exchange, remote constraint imposition, design optimization, constraint representation and management, virtual product simulation and prototyping, information infrastructure for e-Design and realization systems, conceptual design tools in e-Design, and active customer participation through direct preference imposition, etc.
