Collaborative design and planning for digital manufacturing

Collaborative design has attracted much attention in the research community in recent years. With increasingly decentralized manufacturing systems and processes, more collaborative approaches and systems are needed to support distributed manufacturing operations. Collaborative Design and Planning for Digital Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on the state-of-the-art research efforts in the area of collaborative design and planning, aswell as their practical applications towards digital manufacturing. Collaborative Design and Planning for Digital Manufacturing provides both a broad-basedreview of the key areas of research in digital manufacturing, and an in-depthtreatment of particular methodologies and systems, from collaborative design to distributed planning, monitoring and control. Recent development and innovations in this area provide a pool of focused research efforts, relevant to a wide readership from academic researchers to practicing engineers. Presents a focused collection of quality chapters on the state-of-the-art research effortsin the area of collaborative design and planning, as well as their practical applications towards digital manufacturing INDICE: From the contents Informatics Platform for Designing and Deployinge-Manufacturing Systems.- A Framework for Integrated Design of Mechatronic Systems.- Fine Grain Feature Associations in Collaborative Design and Manufacturing - A Unified Approach.- Collaborative Supplier Integration for Product Design and Development.- Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems Design for a Contract Manufacturer Using a Co-operative Co-evolutionary Multi-agent Approach.- A Web and Virtual Reality-based Platform for Collaborative Product Review and Customisation.- Managing Collaborative Process Planning Activities through Extended Enterprise.- Adaptive Setup Planning for Job Shop Operations under Uncertainty.- Auction-based Heuristic in Digitised Manufacturing Environment for Part Type Selection and Operation Allocation.- A Web-based Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing System for Rapid Product Development.- Agent-based Control for DesktopAssembly Factories.- Information Sharing in Digital Manufacturing Based on STEP and XML.
