A Case Study on Concurrent Design

Based on the methodology and theory proposed in (Cha and Guo, 1993) for automated concurrent design process, this paper presents a concrete engineering case practice to illustrate how to establish a descriptive model and a cognitive model for concurrent design process, as well as how to develop a computable model for the computer system to implement the automated concurrent design process. Also, a special emphasis is given to the aspects of management, control and coordination on concurrent design process, which is considered as key techniques for automated concurrent design system.
