The foundations of collaborative group decisions
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Ralph L. Keeney | Collaborative engineering requires collaborative group decisions. This paper presents foundations for a collaborative group decision model, and offers suggestions on how to implement such a model. Specifically, decision analysis techniques ... | 4 - 18 |
Designing and engineering through collaboration and negotiation
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | N.P. Suh | The development of complex engineering systems requires collaboration and negotiation. It is to make correct decisions based on customer needs, Functional Requirements, Design Parameters, and Process Variables. There are two basic elements:... | 19 - 37 |
Collective rationality of group decisions in collaborative engineering
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Stephen C-Y. Lu | Collaborative engineering is a dynamic socio-technical activity where a team of stakeholders works collaboratively to make group decisions based on collective rationality. This paper examines various impossibility conditions and possibility... | 38 - 74 |
The innovation pump: supporting creative processes in collaborative engineering
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Xavier Llora, David E. Goldberg | The pervasive expansion of computers and internet has change the way people collaborate. Cybercollaboratories for collaborative engineering in form of web boards, blogs, e-mails, and instant messaging have become de facto mainstream communi... | 75 - 97 |
Enhancing ECN|s abilities to address inventive strategies using OTSM-TRIZ
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Nikolai Khomenko, Roland De Guio, Denis Cavallucci | This paper analyses and discusses from various points of views to what extent Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and its generalisation (OTSM) could contribute to the Engineering as Collaborative Negotiation (ECN) process instrument... | 98 - 113 |
Knowledge Management in collaborative engineering
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Waguih ElMaraghy | Collaboration has always been a key driving force behind human civilisation, and an integral part of the engineering profession. Engineered systems such as manufacturing systems and information systems are generally complex. Knowledge is in... | 114 - 124 |
Argumentation-based negotiation for collaborative engineering design
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Yan Jin, Mathieu Geslin | Designing complex systems requires collaboration among multiple engineers who coordinate to plan tasks, cooperate to resolve dependencies, and co-construct to identify shared objectives and solutions. While collaboration technologies have b... | 125 - 151 |
Mass customisation as a collaborative engineering effort
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Songlin Chen, Yue Wang, Mitchell M. Tseng | Mass customisation aims to deliver customised products with near-mass production efficiency. To simultaneously achieve customisation and efficiency, mass customisation requires collaborative engineering efforts between customers and manufac... | 152 - 167 |
Collaborative engineering as a basic concept for teaching structuration
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | A. Bernard, N. Perry, P. Depince | Engineering education is evolving in a global context. Projects activities allow students structuring and applying the knowledge learned while facing problems. But, when taking into account MultiDisciplinary Optimisation (MDO), it is necess... | 168 - 184 |
A socio-technical negotiation approach for collaborative design in software engineering
DOI: 10.1504/IJCE.2009.027438 | Stephen C-Y. Lu, Nan Jing | To support collaborative design in software engineering, we have built a socio-technical negotiation approach by integrating a Socio-Technical Co-construction Process (STCP) with an Argument-Based Negotiation Process (ABNP). The STCP provid... | 185 - 209 |
