Abstract
Concurrent engineering (CE) is a manufacturing philosophy and right-first-time approach to the product lifecycle that has the potential to produce dramatic reductions in product development time and cost. The paper discusses the CONCERT architecture (Concurrent Engineering Support) distributed middleware services which support concurrent engineering. The CONCERT architecture allows Internet clients (virtual team members) to access these middleware services through a special cross-platform control-panel application or (in a restricted form) via the World Wide Web
