Development of computer-mediated collaborative engineering system (CMCES), and its trial of application in education

摘要

In collaborative engineering, two or more workers gather at conference which repeats opinion exchange and an argument towards decision-making for engineering. In the conference, various documents, such as plans, drafts, drawings, are delivered and shared among workers, and workers modify or correct the documents. We define this conference as "a collaborative engineering conference", and develop "CMCES (Computer-Mediated Collaborative Engineering System)" as a system that supports engineering collaboration in distributed real-time environment. In addition, we make the trial that applies CMCES to learning software engineering.
