9th ISPE International Conference on Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications (CE2002)
Cranfield University, United Kingdom 27th - 31st JULY, 2002 Home Page: http://www.ceconf.com
Now in its 9th edition, ISPE/CE2001 - Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications, is a major forum for the international scientific exchange of multi-disciplinary and inter-organizational aspects of concurrent engineering (CE). The focus is on the research and use of integrated enterprise processes, collaborative work, interoperability and information sharing, co-locating resources, and integrated frameworks and tools. This conference addresses the state of the art in research and applications issues of CE.
