Abstract

An architecture has been structured to map the distributed business logic for the product engineering lifecycle. In this architecture, a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) system and an innovative computer-aided process engineering (CAPE) system, which was developed by the author and commercialised by an Australian company, are distributedly integrated using VisiBroker´s Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as the middleware. The architecture, presented in this paper, provides a framework for the construction of a new and innovative distributed system to support the distributed concurrent product engineering lifecycle
