In October of 1992 an assembly of researchers in simulation and computer models for instruction convened in Bonas, France, to learn from one another in a non-automated environment.
Today, telecommunication systems are expanding and evolving at a remarkable rate, with the aid of fiber optics, satellites and comput- erized switchboard systems.
In einer Zeit schnellen technischen Wandels und erhöhter Anforderungen an die Effizienz der Unternehmen im Produktionsbereich wird die Informationstechnologie zunehmend als echter Produktionsfaktor erkannt, der nicht nur Organisationsstruktur und -abläufe beeinflußt, sondern auch direkten Einfluß auf die Entwicklung und Herstellung der Produkte sowie deren Wirtschaftlichkeit hat.
The author describes the predicament of an industry which is coming under increasing pressure in the world market and is seeking new approaches to the challenges arising.
These proceedings contain lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Concurrent Engineering Tools and Technologies for Mechanical System Design held in Iowa City, Iowa, 25 May -5 June, 1992.
This proceedings volume contains selected and refereed contributions that were presented at the conference on "e;Recent Developments and New Perspectives of Operations Research in the Area of Production Planning and Control"e; in Hagen/Germany, 25.
At present one of the main obstacles to a broaderapplication of expert systems is the lack of a theory totell us which problem-solving methods areavailable for agiven problem class.
In this book we open our insights in the Theory of the Firm, obtained through the application of Optimal Control Theory, to a public of scholars and advanced students in economics and applied mathematics.
This volume presents a selection of the presentations from the first annual conference on Analytical Methods in Software Engineering Economics held at The MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia.
The idea for the Workshop on which this book is based arose from discussions which we had when we both attended an earlier - and more broadly based - NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning, directed by Claire O'Malley in Maratea, Italy, in 1989.
Der Einsatz objektorientierter Datenbanksysteme zur Datenverwaltung in ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Anwendungen erfordert zum einen eine weitreichende Integration der Anwender in den Datenbankentwurfsprozeß, zum anderen ergeben sich neue, bisher nur unzureichend berücksichtigte Anforderungen im Hinblick auf den Softwareentwurf.
Basically five problems areas are addressed by operationsresearch specialists in the manufacturing domain: theore-tical and practical aspectsin production planning, facilitylayout, inventory control, tool management and scheduling.
Adaptive Learning Environments (ALEs) can be viewed as theintersection of two traditionally distinct areas ofresearch: instructional science and computer science.
For many decades scholars from various disciplines have been intrigued by the question whether there are unifying principles or models that have a validity in different disciplines.
Das Buch behandelt eine Problemstellung, die mit zunehmender Automatisierung der Fertigung (CIM) verschärft auftritt: die Sicherstellung von kollisionsfreien Bahnen für Industrieroboter.
The present book is based on the conference Software Development and Reality Construction held at SchloB Eringerfeld in Germany, September 25 - 30, 1988.
Production theory and the theory of cost both belong to the central areas of business administration, for all considerations concerning the economic organization of industrial manufacturing processes start from these.
This book is mainly focused on the development of tools for decision-makers in finance, ranging from treasurers of firms to professional investors and bank managers.
Die Gestaltung von Informationssystemen, ihre Organisation und ihr Betrieb, werden angesichts komplexerer Anforderungen und heterogener Betriebsmittel immer problematischer.
This monograph deals with various classes of deterministic and stochastic continuous time optimal control problems that are defined over unbounded time intervals.
The primary aim of this monograph is to provide a formal framework for the representation and management of uncertainty and vagueness in the field of artificial intelligence.
