I'm looking for a series of articles that relate to the use of
e-collaboration software in the auto industry. Case studies in
particular would be most useful e.g.

Hello bmf650,

Thanks for the question! I wasn't able to find what I feel is enough
resources to complete this answer, however other Researchers may be
able to assist you further. Here is what I was able to round up for
you:

"Grid Engine software works by aggregating all available compute
resources into a virtual resource pool, enabling the Powertrain IT
groups to deliver compute cycles as a service, over the network..."

I hope it helps in your endeavors!

Hello sgtcory

Thanks for the 3 links. The articles you were able to find ARE the
kind of information I am looking for. Were there too many answers to
go through in your search or the opposite ? Thanks

Hello bmf650,

I wasn't able to find more recent examples like the ones above. I
thought I would leave this question open, in case another researcher
was privy to some inside resources that I may not have access to.

We'll give it couple more days, and if nothing else comes up - I'll do
some more digging to see what I can come up with for an answer to your
question.

Thanks!
SgtCory
