Research on Collaborative Design Workflow System of Complex Products in Construction Machinery

摘要

This paper gives an overview of current multidisciplinary collaborative design research based on the characteristics of complex products design in the construction machinery. Concept, design principles and system structure of collaborative designing workflow are introduced, and a framework of workflow management based on the web is proposed. Moreover, this paper presents a way to realize collaborative design workflow management system using LAMP structure. Emphasis is directed towards modeling of workflow management system and design of workflow engine. Finally, in the collaborative design process of complex products of the construction machinery, for example, create an activity based workflow engine for PHP.
