The Emerging Basis for Multidisciplinary Concurrent Engineering

Some industry perspectives on Concurrent Engineering are examined as a background for discussing the technology basis and level of maturity. Integrated multidisciplinary analysis tools are presented as a major contributor to concurrency. Key islands of integrated technology are identified and the potential for connecting these islands is discussed.
