Abstract :
As part of two EU-Asia projects, Asia IT&C and Asia-Link, the research in Web-enable collaboration for design and manufacture has been carried out. The major Web/Internet techniques involved in the projects include a Web-enable environment for collaboration, online collaborative CAD/CAM, remote execution of large size programs (RELSP), and distributed product design. Two related techniques are presented in details: (1) a client-server approach for RELSP, where the Internet techniques involved include CORBA, Microsoft´s Internet information server, Tomcat server, JDBC and ODBC; (2) Web-services supported collaborative CAD which enables geographically dispersed designers jointly conduct a design task in the way of speaking and seeing each other and instantaneously modifying the CAD drawing online.
