Abstract

The main objective of this article is to find effective solutions for collaboration of team workers during the execution of Large Scale Engineering Projects (LSEP). The research is based on actual operational needs of Petrobras, a large Brazilian governmental oil & gas company. For this article we have focused on Offshore Engineering Projects as our case study. We have implemented a Service Oriented Architecture aimed to create a collaborative environment, called CEE (Collaborative Engineering Environment), for visualizing engineering simulations considering important requirements identified for LSEPs, such as collaboration, workflow coordination, and immersive visualization. CEE allows team workers to concentrate in the task of solving a problem using seamlessly the computational resources available, from the execution of engineering simulations on a Grid to the collaborative visualization of results in an immersive or desktop environment.
