The traditional, fragmented approach to increasing manufacturing efficiency has resulted in "islands of automation" in our factories. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the goal of tying together these islands into ...

Manufacturing and Engineering processes use both large scale data and knowledge bases, and the use of expert systems in such environments has become a necessity. Expert Database Systems have evolved from conventional ...

To build an interface between product design and manufacturing execution modules is the first phase to achieving Computer Integrated Manufacturing for the factory of the future. A model of the Computer Aided Design ...

The Binary Relationship Model has been praised for the way it not only supports, but practically forces us to model the "deep structures" of the information in the conceptual schema. An adverse effect is that the conceptual ...

Update dependencies are the basis of a new formalism for operational database specification.

A database system should support a rich variety of meta-data describing and controlling the management and use of data. Few present database systems provide even rudimentary integrated meta-data management facilities.

We present a framework for developing High Performance Engineering Information Systems (EIS) based on Incremental Computation Models. These models utilize results of previous computations stored in persistent cache structures ...

The objective of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is to develop a coherent database management system capable of controlling an entire manufacturing operation through the integration of manufacturing, design, and ...
