4. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 4 Business Perspectives Efficient integration of engineering services on an ad- hoc basis into globally scoped engineering projects is of strategic importance for the productivity and competitiveness. Good project preparation is a key for the effectiveness of dispersed collaborative engineering teams. Generic PP functionality paves the way for a whole range of other services that enhance the productivity and competitiveness.

5. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 5 Technology In the e-Hub, collaborative PP is a managed process that transparently generates a set of comprehensive project plans, in nature and logically ordered. The e-Hub contains a collection of PP models. Each consists of a PP process model, represented with WF models, that incorporates the coordination logic of how project planners negotiate and reach a resolution on one of the aspects that need to be tactically agreed. The WF model controls who has read or write access to which field. Each of the WF models operates on one or more content templates, which is an ordered set of fields with specific meaning.

20. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 20 Project planning tool ( e.g. Gattproject ) is used to schedule the project The scheduling and negotiation process is facilitated by the coordinator. The negotiation information will be saved either in the eRisk zone or in the eHub.

21. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 21 WF3:Contract Negotiation

22. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 22 WF3: Master Process Co-ordinator selects and inputs project general information These sub-flows will guide users to negotiate the key contract items

23. e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker services 09/09/04 23 WF3: Sub-Flow (Negotiate Cost) ‘Project cost’ will be saved into the related contract clause after this activity is enacted.
