A study on engineering collaboration media (1st report) -Environment for Re-experience of mechanism design including simulations-

摘要

This paper presents a methodology to support collaboration in engineering whose style is called asynchronous and idea integrative. "Idea integrative" style means that multiple engineers are involved in the same subject and make ideas for the subject. "Asynchronous" style means that engineers' working time are different from each other and it is difficult for them to have meetings for discussion on the subject. The key to support this kind of collaboration style is to make media with which engineers can talk as if they talk with partners to understand though of the partners and know history of engineering.
