v-CAx Conference

• Network latencies drive the architectural solutions.
• Client-Server dominates the collaborative CAx architectures.
• Application type determines multi-user participation flexibility.
• Collaborative approaches replicate tools at the multi-user sites, such as CAx models, the application, or dedicated collab-orative software.
• Collaborating tools must be end-user transparent and promote multi-user interaction.
• Multi-user security must protect IP.
• Model partitioning and other constraint methods can break the model into user assignable design regions.
• Collaborative agent software can observe, record, transmit and organize user collab-orations.
• Conflict resolution can be resolved by grid (regional) locking, semantic and session locking, and model blocking to partition multi-user interactions.
• Single event buffers and screen cursors have limited GUI collaborative flexibility for CAx applications.
