TL;DR: The Palo Alto Collaborative Testbed (PACT) as mentioned in this paper is a concurrent engineering infrastructure that encompasses multiple sites, subsystems, and disciplines, including NVisage, a distributed knowledge-based integration environment for design tools; DME (Device Modeling Environment), a model formulation and simulation environment; Next-Cut, a mechanical design and process planning system; and Designworld, a digital electronics design, simulation, assembly, and testing system.

TL;DR: The SHADE (SHAred Dependency Engineering) project strikes a balance between these undesirable extremes by supporting reconfigurable exchange of engineering knowledge among special-purpose CAE systems.

TL;DR: The framework is designed to support information sharing and coordinated communication among members of a product development organization, particularly for the tasks of design knowledge capture, dynamic notification of design changes, and active management of design dependencies.

TL;DR: This panel will focus on the problem of acquiring design rationale knowledge from humans for later reuse by identifying dimensions of a design space for design rationale tools, and includes position statements from each panelist arguing for various positions in this space.

TL;DR: The architecture for an information infrastructure to create and sustain an electronic community which will be able to design and sell engineered products in competitive markets as well as conduct research and development by collaborating through a network is outlined.
