“…Version management (or version control) [39,13,51,6] is widely used in the management of engineering data [49,25,48,14]. Version management is concerned with maintaining different versions of objects and configurations and with providing support for operations on these versions.…”

Abstract. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems are widely used in the manufacturing industry. A core feature of such systems is providing support for versioning of product data. As workflow functionality is increasingly used in PLM systems the possibility emerges that versioning policies as encapsulated in process models are inconsistent with respect to their actual lifecycles. In this paper we define compliance of object versioning lifecycles with respect to process models and provide a solution to automatically checking whether compliance holds.

“…We conjecture that a versioning tree of these atomic commands represents the overall context management for a configuration of products over the time of the sales session. Modifying a tree modelling approach from [5] and [6], we describe the configuration versioning performed in this retail application. The intention is to show that the scene graph can be reconstructed from a versioning tree, to show a purchase configuration at event E i , and to show that the data structures and interactions are capable of meeting all context management requirements for users as shown above.…”

Real-time remote sales assistance is an underdeveloped component of online sales services. Solutions involving web page text chat, telephony and video support prove problematic when seeking to remotely guide customers in their sales processes, especially with configurations of physically complex artefacts. Recently, there has been great interest in the application of virtual worlds and augmented reality to create synthetic environments for remote sales of physical artefacts. However, there is a lack of analysis and development of appropriate software services to support these processes. We extend our previous work with the detailed design of configuration context services to support the management of an interactive sales session using augmented reality. We detail the context and configuration services required, presenting a novel data service streaming configuration information to the vendor for business analytics. We expect that a fully implemented configuration management service, based on our design, will improve the remote sales experience for both customers and vendors alike via analysis of the streamed information.

“…Manufacturing and aerospace do have software which provides more complete versioning and configuration support but because of the special needs of the construction industry, this would only be of limited use. Further techniques have been developed by researchers [14] but these, as yet, do not provide all the functionality that is required. Nevertheless, within the next decade it is likely that the construction industry will be provided with versioning and configuration software that meets its needs.…”

The construction industry, of which structural engineering is an important component, is distinguished by its organisational fragmentation and the complexity of the artefacts that it designs and builds. The fragmentation enforces a need for collaboration between the many separate organisations that are involved in a given scheme and this creates a need for meetings which are both expensive and disruptive. The complexity adds to the difficulties caused by the complexity. In addition to face to face meetings, there are more subtle forms of collaborative working such as shared files and decision spaces. This paper looks at how collaborative working can be supported using Information Technology (IT) based tools. The current leading edge technologies and forthcoming developments are discussed.
