New online services oriented to the conceptual design of industrial products through the application of Web 2.0

Abstract

[EN] Experimental environment oriented to conceptual design of industrial products through the application of Web 2.0 technology can help to communicate a product on the network. Web 2.0 online applications will be able to develop a search strategy involving the use of specialized languages to respond user's needs. There are many Open Source applications in Computer Aided Design; however there is no on-line environment that allows the user to manage specific and specialized information about design processes conceptualization. The need for formal guidelines and techniques for creating an environment previously validated and justified will raise awareness for existing tools and applications that support the real work of design professionals and encourage the development of specific applications.
