A MULTIMEDIA WORKFLOW-BASED COLLABORATIVE ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENT Integrating an Adaptive Workflow System with a Multimedia Collaboration System and a Collaborative Virtual Environment for Petroleum Engineering

摘要

In this paper we discuss the scenario of Petroleum Engineering projects of Petrobras, a large Brazilian governmental oil & gas company. Based on this scenario, we define a set of requirements and system architecture to guide the construction of a Collaborative Engineering Environment for assisting the control and execution of large and complex industrial projects in oil industry, specifically tailored for Petroleum Engineering. The environment is composed by the integration of three different technologies of group work: Workflow Management System, Multimedia Collaborative System and Collaborative Virtual Environments.
