Towards Deception Detection in Concurrent Engineering

Process management includes project management, information flow management and information management. For effective process management in concurrent engineering it is necessary to have continuous information shared among the human resources carrying out the interactive activities from different disciplines, often distributed in different geographical locations. Information on the status of the activity, status of the production development, goals, resources and constraints are very critical to plan and control the concurrent engineering project. Deceptive information would result in non-availability of correct and complete information at right time leading to inefficient process management, increased project cost and delivery delays. This paper is concerned with studying the deception detection techniques, analyzing the deceptive information in concurrent engineering and identifying the concepts to represent the deception.
