Abstract
The Palo Alto Collaborative Testbed (PACT) is a laboratory for joint experimentation in computer-aided concurrent engineering being pursued by research groups at Stanford University, Lockheed, Hewlett-Packard, and Enterprise Integration Technologies. The current prototype integrates four preexisting concurrent engineering systems into a common framework. Each individual system is used to model different aspects of a small robotic manipulator, and to reason about them from a different engineering perspective (dynamics, digital electronics, and software). The systems interact via knowledge-based communication languages and services. Initial PACT experiments have explored engineering knowledge exchange in the context of a distributed simulation and simple incremental redesign scenario. This paper describes the nature of these experiments, the technology underlying them, and the results produced. This work was partially supported by DARPA prime contract DAAA15-91-C-0104 through Lockheed ...
