Key Technologies of ASP Based Collaborative Design

The implementation of ASP based collaborative design system enables the broad masses of small and medium enterprises jump the traces of purchasing expensive hardware, software and technologies, reduces the risks of capital investment, and then enables the enterprises to do the design work at a lower cost, which leads to the improvement in product development capacity, efficiency and quality. The integration framework of the developed ASP based collaborative design systems is divided into four logic layers. The key technologies of clients involved collaborative design process management are investigated deeply. An ASP based collaborative design system is developed and applied in Dalian SANYO Refrigeration Co., Ltd., Dalian, China. Application report proved that the system enhanced the design efficiency markedly.
