FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstract due date extended to February 1, 1997.
ISPE/CE97, Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications,
is a major forum for the international
scientific exchange of multi-disciplinary and inter-
organizational aspects of concurrent
engineering (CE). The focus is on the use of integrated
enterprise processes, collaborative work,
information sharing, co-locating resources, and integrated
frameworks and tools. This conference
addresses research and applications issues of CE. This
information is available at Web page:
