International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology (IJCAT), Vol. 37, No. 3/4, 2010

Abstract: This paper explores the vast domain of systematic collaborative engineering with reference to product lifecycle management approach from the angle of feature-level collaboration among partners. A new method of fine grain feature association modelling and reasoning is proposed. The original contribution is on the explicit modelling and reasoning of collaborative feature relations within a dynamic context. A case study has been carried out to illustrate the interweaving feature relations in collaborative oil rig space management and the effective application of such relations modelled in design solution optimisation.
