Collaborative Decision Support On-line
• An aircraft engine expert is usually regarded as a high value resource.
• As such, he/she needs to be highly accessible at various times, to investigate problems under demanding circumstances.
• Using the Grid as a collaborative computing platform to have a virtual network of experts, who are usually at different geographical locations.
• The ability of an engineer to capture investigative findings on-site and instantly upload these findings to the Grid-based system, using mobile access, greatly increases the accuracy of the CBR system in diagnosing the problem.

• A small device such as a PDA presents various constraints such as
• Limited processing power
• Limited memory
• Small display area
• Small network bandwidth
• The complexity of platforms and APIs used in such constraints is limited
• These constraints were taken into account in the design of a PDA demonstrator
