August 8-12, 1994, Stanford University
taught by:
Mark Cutkosky Charles Petrie
Stanford Center for Design Research 960 Panama Street Stanford, CA 94305-2232 FAX 415/725-8475
DESCRIPTION: This is a five-day course designed to cover the latest technologies for providing computer support for distributed design and development of electro-mechanical devices. We include not only a survey of the existing literature in concurrent engineering research but also an in-depth look at several new technologies developed in Stanford labs. We also describe the latest developments in Internet-based tools for collaborative development and two recent, relevant experiments in distributed agile design and development.
The goal of the course is that the attendees leave understanding the issues and various approaches and tradeoffs, and with a comprehensive knowledge of relevant cutting edge technologies.
PREREQUISITES: The participants should have either a computer or engineering-related background. There are no prerequisite texts for this course.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This course is appropriate for system developers, technical managers, computer researchers, and computer-oriented engineers who want to gain insight into the capabilities, implementation and current trends in the emerging technology of collaborative parallel distributed design.
INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Mark Cutkosky is on the faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Dr. Charles Petrie is a Sr. Research Associate at the Stanford Center for Design Research. They are collaborating on development of task coordination for distributed design and are involved in several concurrent engineering and agile design and manufacturing projects.
