Samenvatting:

Cooperative working environments and their development are becoming increasingly important and ever more frequent in different industrial sectors and this book provides a scientific approach for managing Team Engineering.



Cooperative working environments and their development are becoming increasingly important and ever more frequent in different industrial sectors and this book provides a scientific approach for managing team engineering. Meta-cognitive knowledge and networks are identified as key resources enabling engineering teams to work effectively and to reduce engineering time. This book illustrates how computer support can aid cooperative work within the context of practical methodologies and examples. The fields covered in the book include: state-of-the-art research in cooperative learning tools; practical examples and methodologies illustrating the implementation of cooperative networks; and an interdisciplinary approach to team engineering. This book is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and is aimed at researchers, engineers, and technical managers involved in the development of advanced applications for engineering and manufacturing, and software design and engineering.
