A Video Conferencing System for Collaborative Engineering Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Collaborative engineering design based on distributed networks is an important way to increase the productivity of mechanical product design and to reduce the development cycles. This paper presents a novel method for the implementation of a collaborative engineering design. It is based on the integration of a video conferencing system and a CAD system. Issues about the general requirements and the architecture of the system are discussed. The paper also distinguishes three levels for design conflicts and provides specific solutions to them respectively.
