Performance-based intelligent resource description model for internet-based product design

Issues on intelligent resource description and multiple intelligent resources integration for Internet-based collaborative design are analyzed. A performance-based intelligent resource description model for Internet-based product design is proposed, which can help to create, store, manipulate and exchange intelligent resource description information for applications, tools and systems in Internet-based product design. A method to integrate multiple intelligent resources to fulfill a complex product design and analysis via Internet is also proposed. A real project for improving the bearing system design of a turbo-expander with many intelligent resources in prominent universities is presented as a case study.
