Abstract

Recognition of the importance of Large Scale Engineering (LSE) construction in the economics of Europe has resulted in the European Commission supporting the proposal for the eLSEwise project (Esprit 20876). eLSEwise is the European LSE Wide Integration Support Effort, which commenced in 1996 as part of the family of the ‘User Reference Group’ projects established by the European Commission to define the needs of the busiess users of ICT within several industrial areas. This paper describes the eLSEwise initiative and the approach adopted in identifying the LSE construction needs and the business processes that come together to allow an LSE project to evolve through the various phases of a project life cycle.
