Abstract
This paper describes the use of the Internet and World-Wide Web (WWW) as a means for disseminating information and enabling collaborative working in a Concurrent Engineering (CE) environment. It discusses the authors architecture for a concurrent engineering support environment, the CONCERT environment, and describes the implementation of a WWW-based interface to this environment.
