Aim
The conference aim of the European Concurrent Engineering Conference, ECEC'2010 is to provide European Researchers with a forum, where they can discuss the latest developments linked to concurrent engineering focused on European research projects. ECEC'2010 aims to identify the progress that has been made in Concurrent Engineering/Lean Manufacturing over the last year. A special focus of the ECEC'2010 will be the influence of Open Concurrent Design Server and the new directions in Lean Manufacturing. The ECEC helps the dissemination of information and exploitation of results from the research and technical development and provides a forum for the exchange of experiences in developing and implementing CE based solutions across the wide spectrum of manufacturing and engineering industries. The conference is targeted at industrial enterprises, industrial associations, universities and research institutes.
Who should attend
The conference will be of direct benefit to process, production, design or development managers in manufacturing, strategic directors, quality managers and technical directors. The conference will also be of interest to industrial and academic researchers.

Open Concurrent Design Server Workshop
The OCDS is an initiative of the European Space Agency, www.esa.int. The OCDS provides the building blocks of a Concurrent, Collaborative and Distributed Engineering for the Space Industry, using Open Standards Information Models and Reference Libraries.
The OCDS is the vehicle to distribute ESA’s CDF (www.esa.int/cdf )Concurrent Design methodology and a set of tools to the Space industry, organisations and academia. At the same time it distributes an open data exchange standard for early phase space system engineering and design activities described in the ECSS-TN-10-25.
The OCDS helps the European Space Community to:
* Increase Data Management Capabilities, including Life Cycle Data Management
* Support the information longevity objective
* Achieve a hardware and software independent solution
* Optimise the design process
* Consolidate Design Models in a repository based on open standards
* Improve communication to Contractors and partners, using Open and publicly available standards (e.g. ISO, ECSS, ….)
* Streamline the communications to other ESA corporate applications using model based integration
* Connect data to product assurance (PA/QA) activities.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:
T1- Introductory tutorials
T2- State of the Art Tutorials
T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org
POSTER SESSION
The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the actual poster presentation, these submissions also feature as short papers in the Proceedings.
STUDENTS SESSION
This session is for students who want to present their work in progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on the paper as an author. They are published as short papers in the Proceedings.
DIVERSE ACTIVITIES
For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS. Special session will be set up for vendor presentations in coordination with the scientific program. User Group meetings for simulation languages and tools can be organised the day before the conference. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room and other necessary equipment.
Exhibition
There will be a special exhibition section for universities and non-profit organisations, and a special section for publishers and commercial stands.
