A little more than a decade ago my colleagues and I faced the necessity for providing a database management system which might commonly serve a number of different types of computer aided design applications at different manufacturing enterprises.
This book is concerned with problems and solutions associated with the exchange of data between different computer aided design, engineering and manufacturing (CAx) systems.
In this ESPRIT research report of a group of engineers in the CAD*I project the possibility of using a database management system (DBMS) for computer aided design (CAD) purposes is analyzed and conditions are derived that enable CAD systems to manage CAD models containing increasing amounts of data and more and more intelligent relations.
The market for information technology products is rapidly changing from a manufactur- er-driven market where new products were determined by the evolution of technology, to a user-driven market where users buy only products corresponding exactly to their needs and where competition is very strong.
Der Tagungsband gibt einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand der Forschung auf dem Gebiete der Mustererkennung vorwiegend im deutschsprachigen Raum.

The connections between economics, planning, and the environment are receiv- ing increased attention among scholars and policy makers in many countries.
Multimedia environments suggest to us a new perception of the state of changes in and the integration of new technologies that can increase our ability to process information.
This volume is a record of the first Eurographics Workshop on Multimedia, held at the department of Numerical Analysis and Computing Science (NADA), Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, April 18-19, 1991.
The term picture archiving and communications system (PACS) was initiated during the first International conference and workshop on the topic sponsored by The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) in Newport Beach, California in 1982.
In vielen verschiedenen Disziplinen der Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften produzieren Meßverfahren, Experimente und Computersimulationen immer größer werdende Mengen von Ergebnisdaten.
Die Gestaltung von Informationssystemen, ihre Organisation und ihr Betrieb, werden angesichts komplexerer Anforderungen und heterogener Betriebsmittel immer problematischer.
