- Another posting mentioned the Concurrent Eng. Research Center at WVU. You
- can get some of their reports by anonymous ftp from:
-
- babcock.cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu (129.71.14.1).
-
- IEEE Spectrum, July 1991, has a special section on concurrent
- engineering. Next year Academic Press will publish two volumes devoted to
- CE in their Control and Dynamic Systems series, for which I contributed an
- article on open system software standards and CE. CE is a popular
- buzzword in manufacturing engineering. The basic idea is to get
- marketing, engineering, and manufacturing departments to work together
- from the beginning of a product lifecycle, instead of each group working
- sequentially and throwing their result over the wall to the next group.
- I haven't seen it mentioned much for software products, but some of the
- same concepts appear in various lifecycle models and software process
- methodologies.
