Standards, Web Services & Open Source to Support Collaboration Across Engineering Disciplines
Charlie Stirk, President
CostVision Inc.
Recent advances in engineering data model standards, web services application programming interfaces and open source software dramatically lower the cost and increase the capability of interoperability and collaboration between different engineering disciplines. Using cost engineering and management in product development as example business processes, we will show which of these technologies can be deployed now highlight improvements under way by various groups, and identify gaps that still need to be addressed.
