With globalization, more and more companies are becoming multisited. Efficient and timely collaboration and communication among the development team members become critical for product success. This paper proposes a web-based virtual environment for mobile phone customization, named VMPDS (Virtual Mobile Phone Design Space). The features of this system include the combination of web technology and VR (Virtual Reality) technology, the ability to deal with and extend the product model database, adequate interaction for three-dimensional product model customization, and usefulness for the examination and evaluation of product concept design. The system is implemented by using standard open technologies to assure accessibility and platform independence.

Interactive Virtual Environment

During recent years, mobile phone companies have experienced market-related difficulties that result in increasing competition globally. In an attempt to maintain or increase their market share, enterprises reorganize their resources and employ new technologies to sharpen their competitive edges. Moreover, with the globalization, more and more companies become multi-sited. Efficient and timely collaboration and communication among the development team members become critical for product success. This paper proposes a web-based interactive virtual environment for mobile phone design, named VMPDS (Virtual Mobile Phone Design Space). The features of the system include the combination of web technology and VR (Virtual Reality) technology, the ability to deal with and extend the product model database, adequate interaction for 3-D product model modification and customization, and usefulness for the examination and evaluation of product concept design. The system is implemented by using standard open technologies such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), Java, SAI (Script Authoring Interface) and EAI (External Authoring Interface) to assure accessibility and platformindependence.

This study presents development of a Web-based Finite Element Method (FEM) module, which creates model-virtual experimentations (MVE) for double web angle, top and seat angle, flush end-plate, and extended end-plate connections. The MVE mimics the real test set-up for monotonic and cyclic types of experiments in a Web-based virtual environment to be used for conducting virtual experiments to obtain load-deformation characteristics of the aforementioned connections being developed by the authors. The MVE’s library contains three dimensional isoparametric elements with and without internal nodes to eliminate shear errors. The MVE module and its output will contain graphical and visualization capability, and it will be accessible to researchers and students on the web. The Web-based client applications are developed such that it will access the MVE program running on a centralized server. The user is capable of changing parameters of visualization such as connection’s geometric variables or test beam and columns dimensions for real time recreation of MVE.

This paper adopts the methods of establish matrix list to concept design evaluation, to study the methods of establishing evaluational criteria and the methods of concept design evaluation. It reveals that it is necessary to evaluate the function, use, man-machine interface, physical structure and control, various technology, assembling handicraft, etc. for concept design evaluation. Concept design process exhibits characteristics of diverging, converging, diverging again, converging again, totally converging. The result shows valuation of concept schemes should be carefully chosen by ways of setting up target product model, matrix of standard decision-making, combining perceptual with reason judgement, schemes being improved and chosen. The evaluation should be carried out in such a way that it should take into account the economical value of the scheme and the promotion of the company’s competitiveness during the entire life cycle of the product.

Quality function deployment (QFD) is an essential tool in implementing total quality management (TQM). This study applies a Web-QFD approach using group decision-making analysis in the Web environment to reduce the complicated data collection, aggregation and analysis processes. A Web-based questionnaire is designed by using an active service pages (ASP) involving the Internet relay chat (IRC) technique and the Delphi method with Internet (E-Delphi) to determine the importance degree of the customers' requirements. However, the traditional Delphi method is time-consuming mission. This study applies the proposed Web-QFD approach to efficiently gather the individual opinions of each team member, the requirements that are critical for customers, and then enables decision makers to accurately assess the priorities of these requirements. An empirical example of an education system in Taiwan is employed to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed Web-QFD model. This real world example involves team members communicating easily and quickly with other experts in the team through the Internet to accelerate the reaching of a consensus among multiple decision makers regardless of where their location. Customers' requirements can be rapidly prioritized based on the assessment results.

Negative Impacts

Academic work increasingly involves creating digital tools with interdisciplinary teams distributed across institutions and roles. The negative impacts of distributed work are described at length in technical communication scholarship, but such impacts have not yet been realized in collaborative practices. By integrating attention to their core ethical principles, best practices, and work patterns, the authors are developing an ethical, sustainable approach to team building that they call constructive distributed work. This article describes their integrated approach, documents the best practices that guide their research team, and models the three-dimensional thinking that helps them develop sustainable digital tools and ensure the consistent professional development of all team members.

Abstract Naive interpretations of concurrent engineering may expect extreme parallelization of tasks and simultaneous accommodation of multiple perspectives. In fact, from our efforts at modeling tasks in a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) pressure sensor design project, it appears that data dependencies due to the structure of tasks and the product itself result in scenarios of decision and action that must be carefully coordinated. This paper refines a previously described information model for defining evolving contexts of product model aspects and team member perspectives, with software agents acting on behalf of team members to execute tasks. The pressure sensor design project is analyzed in the framework of the information model. A scenario of decision and action for design of the pressure sensor is modeled as a design process plan. Conflict on a shared parameter occurs as a consequence of introducing some parallelism between the capacitance and deflection agents in the process. We present a technique for negotiating such conflicts by definition and propagation of utility functions on decision parameters and axiomatic negotiation.
