ABSTRACT

In this paper we propose a communication and cooperation system for optimizing civil engineering work processes. The system exploits standard software components such as CAD-tools and augments them with internet and world wide web based tools. Different user needs in the civil engineering process are met by specific user profiles allowing for adapted and tailored user interface creation within the server structure of the system.
