Distributed methodology management for design-in-the-large

The MCC CAD framework methodology management system (MMS) is used to describe and control distributed engineering activities in terms of a unified design methodology. Methodologies describe the interactions among design tools and design team members necessary to manage the concurrent design activities associated with design-in-the-large (DITL). A distributed process control server (PCS) provides general process control, load balancing, and interprocess communication (IPC) services to effectively support methodology management activities using networked computing resources.<>
