A Web Data Exchange System for Cooperative Work in CAE

The popular Social Network Service, SNS, induces an open system for collaboration. A data exchange system is opened without any grant as a Computer-supported Cooperative-work tool for Computer-Aided Engineering via Web interface. The SNS plays the role for security instead. SNS is advantageous in recruiting members adequate to the cooperative work, and this open system could be a good workplace under the paradigm of convergence.
