  abstract  = {The worldwide growth of communication networks and associated technologies provide the basic infrastructure for new ways of executing the engineering process. Collaboration amongst team members seperated in time and location is of particular importance. Two broad themes can be recognized in research pertaining to distributed collaboration. One theme focusses on the technical and technological aspects of distributed work, while the other emphasises human aspects thereof. The case of finite element structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory is examined in this paper. An approach is taken which has its roots in human aspects of the structural analysis task. Based on experience of how structural engineers currently approach and execute this task while utilising standard software designed for use on local workstations only, criteria are stated for a software architechture that could support collaborative structural analysis. Aspects of a pilot application and the results of qualitative performance measurements are discussed.},

  abstract  = {Assuring global consistency in a cooperative working environment is the main focus of many nowaday research projects in the field of civil engineering and others. In this paper, a new approach based on octrees will be discussed. It will be shown that by the usage of octrees not only the management and control of processes in a network-based working environment can be optimised but also an efficient integration platform for processes from various disciplines - such as architecture and civil engineering - can be provided. By means of an octree-based collision detection resp. consistency assurance a client-server-architecture will be described as well as sophisticated information services for a further support of cooperative work.},

  abstract  = {Although there are some good reasons to design engineering software as a stand-alone application for a single computer, there are also numerous possibilities for creating distributed engineering applications, in particular using the Internet. This paper presents some typical scenarios how engineering applications can benefit from including network capabilities. Also, some examples of Internet-based engineering applications are discussed to show how the concepts presented can be implemented.},

  abstract  = {Structural engineering projects are increasingly organized in networked cooperations due to a permanently enlarged competition pressure and a high degree of complexity while performing the concurrent design activities. Software that intends to support such collaborative structural design processes implicates enormous requirements. In the course of our common research work, we analyzed the pros and cons of the application of both the peer-to-peer (University of Bonn) and multiagent architecture style (University of Bochum) within the field of collaborative structural design. In this paper, we join the benefits of both architecture styles in an integrated conceptual approach. We demonstrate the surplus value of the integrated multiagent-peer-to-peer approach by means of an example scenario in which several structural engineers are co-operatively designing the basic structural elements of an arched bridge, applying heterogeneous CAD systems.},

  abstract  = {Es wird gezeigt, daß im allgemeinen die Zeichnungsinhalte von Entwurfspl{\"a}nen im konstruktiven Ingenieurbau in Teilzeichnungen zerlegt werden k{\"o}nnen, denen fachspezifische Objekte des Bauwesen entsprechen. Solche Objekte sind beispiels- weise Querschnitte, Tr{\"a}ger, St{\"u}tzen und Fundamente. Diese Teilobjekte werden durch eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Parametern festgelegt werden. W{\"a}hlt man f{\"u}r diese Parameter die entsprechendnen Fachbegriffe, so hat man durch diese die M{\"o}glichkeit die Teilobjekte auch in Datenbanken zu speichern. Neben den Sachparametern m{\"u}ssen auch zeichnungs- technische Werte, wie Maßstab, gew{\"a}hlte L{\"a}ngeneinheiten (m,cm..) und Einsatzpunkt - f{\"u}r die Lage des Teilobjektes im Gesamtplan - gespeichert werden. Zeichenmodule f{\"u}r jedes Teilobjekt k{\"o}nnen dann bei Aufruf eines bestimmten Planes aus den Daten der Datenbank die Teilzeichnungen generieren, sodaß eine Planspeicherung in der {\"u}bliche Speicherform (Speicherelemente Punkt, Linie usw.) nicht mehr erforderlich ist. Neben der reinen Darstellung k{\"o}nnen die Programmodule auch dahingehend erweitert werden, daß auch die zugeh{\"o}rigen Berechnungen durchgef{\"u}hrt werden. Die numerischen Ergebnisse wie auch die Eingabewerte werden in einem alfanumerischen Dokument abgelegt. Damit ergibt sich dann ein Konstruktionsystem f{\"u}r den Entwurf, das insbesondere die Berechnung von Varianten sehr erleichertert. In Sonderf{\"a}llen k{\"o}nnen auch die Pl{\"a}ne in ein Standard CAD Programm eingelesen werden, um allf{\"a}llige Besonderheiten interaktiv zu erg{\"a}nzen. Das relationale Modell wird weiters vorgestellt, nach dem die Zeichnungsinhalte gespeichert werden. Neben reinen Teilobjekts{\"a}tzen werden auch Tabellens{\"a}tze verwendet, um unter einem Namen mehrere numersiche Daten verwalten zu k{\"o}nnen. Es werden auch sogenannte Fort- setzungss{\"a}tze besprochen, die in Entsprechung der stark unterschiedlichen Anzahl der Objektattibute verwendet werden.},
