Manufacturing Automation Network's Cooperative E-space

Associating people into cooperative networks can be beneficial for both the individual and the community. It can occur by sharing expertise, vision and talent of different participants. Manufacturing Automation Network - Manet - is a Brazilian academic and research network that pools together human and material resources of academic institutions and research centers active in the fields of manufacturing and automation. Currently, a logical and computing infrastructure is being developed to make the Manet operation feasible through the Internet. A distributed infrastructure, named Cooperative e-Space - CeS, is being designed offer to people that already participate in cooperative network, a new infrastructure for sharing information, taking into consideration the special characteristics of their community, in a way that can lead to knowledge sharing. © 2004 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.149443450Bafoutsou, G., Mentzas, G., Review and functional classification of collaborative systems (2002) International Journal of Information Management, 22, pp. 281-305Rafaella, C., Vittorio, C., Manzini, Differences and similarities in managing technological collaborations in research, development and manufacturing: A case study (2000) In Journal of Engineering and Technological Management JET-M, 17, pp. 193-224Cutkosky, M.R., Engelmore, R.S., Fikes, R., Genesereth, M.R., Gruber, T.R., Mark, W.S., Tenenbaum, J.M., Weber, J.C., PACT: An experiment in Integrating Concurrent Engineering Systems (1993) IEEE Computer, 26 (1), pp. 28-37Cutkosky, M.R., Tenenbaum, J.M., Glicksman, J., Madefast: Collaborative Engineering over the Internet (1996) Commun.
