This is the second part of a five-volume reference on the very broad and highly significant subject of computer-aided and integrated manufacturing systems. The techniques and technologies used in computer-aided and integrated manufacturing systems have produced, and will no doubt continue to produce, major annual improvements in productivity, which is defined as the goods and services produced from each hour of work. This publication deals particularly with more effective utilization of labour and capital, especially information technology systems. Together the five volumes treat comprehensively the major techniques and technologies that are involved. This work focuses on intelligent systems technologies.
