Abstract

A Web-enabled environment (WEE) for online collaboration has been developed which combines appropriate communications and interconnectivity tools to allow designers to interactively communicate over the Internet in real time, regardless of their IT platforms. The detailed structure of the WEE is presented, followed by description of the key techniques for online collaborative design within the WEE: remote execution of large size executable programs, data file exchange between different CAD systems, and data sharing in real time with distant users.
