Automation is nothing new to industry. It has a long tradition on the factory floor, where its constant objective has been to increase the productivity of manufacturing processes. Only with the advent of computers could the focus of automation widen to include administrative and information-handling tasks. More recently, automation has been extended to the more intellectual tasks of production planning and control, material and resource planning, engineering design, and quality control. New challenges arise in the form of flexible manu- facturing, assembly automation, and automated floor...

The aim of these conference papers was to present the wide spectrum of inter-relationships and interactions between fractal geometry and computer graphics. Topics discussed include computer graphics and optical simulation, image processing, image analysis and the simulation of natural phenomena.

Die zunehmenden Fahigkeiten von Rechnersystemen ermoglichen den Einsatz komplexer mathematischer Methoden fur Anwendungen aus dem Bereich der Graphischen Datenverarbeitung und des Computer Aided Design (CAD). Der effektive Einsatz dieser Methoden in den verschiedenen Darstellungsbereichen der Graphischen Datenverarbeitung, wie CAD-, Animations- oder Visualisierungssystemen, erfordert eine intensive Abstimmung und Zusammenarbeit der Fachgebiete Mathematik und Informatik sowohl in der Forschung als auch in der industriellen Anwendung. Mit der Zielsetzung, einerseits die...

Dieses Buch ist der erste Band "in der Reihe "Beitrage zur Graphischen Datenverar beitung." Mit dieser Reihe will das Zentrum fUr Graphische Datenverarbeitung (ZGDV) an der TH Darmstadt die fachlichen Inhalte seiner Veranstaltungen einer breiten (jffentlichkeit zur VerfUgung stellen. In diesem Fall werden in dem Band die Vortrage zusammengefapt, die bei dem Darrnstadter Kolloquium der Graphischen Datenverar beitung yom 6. bis 10. Mai 1985 an der Technischen Hochschule in Darmstadt gehal ten wurden. Das fachliche Spektrum des Buchinhaltes umfapt so wichtige Themen der Graphischen...

Powerful new technology has been made available to researchers by an increasingly competitive workstation market. Papers from Canada, Japan, Italy, Germany, and the U.S., to name a few of the countries represented in this volume, discuss how workstations are used in experiments and what impact this new technology will have on experiments. As usual for IFIP workshops, the emphasis in this volume is on the formulation of strategies for future research, the determination of new market areas, and the identification of new areas for workstation research. This is the first volume of a book series...

Multimedia computing is a logical next step by which computing technology will become ever more useful and ubiquitous in our everyday lives. From the perspective of technical challenges, multimedia affects nearly every aspect of computer hardware and software. The long-heralded marriage of computing, communications, and information services is now being consummated, and is manifesting itself in literally dozens of new alliances between companies ranging from semiconductors to cable TV, from newspapers and telephone companies to computer hardware and software.

2 e This book describes principles, methods and tools that are common to computer applications for design tasks. CAD is considered in this book as a discipline that provides the required know-how in computer hardware and software, in systems analysis and in engineering methodology for specifying, designing, implementing, introducing, and using computer based systems for design purposes. The first chapter gives an impression of the book as a whole, and following chapters deal with the history and the components of CAD, the process aspect of CAD, CAD architecture, graphical devices and systems,...

Das Projekt wird von 11 Fraunhofer-Instituten durchgefuhrt, die zusammen mit Industriepartnern Anwendungen aus folgenden Themenbereichen erproben: Home Support; Medizintechnik; VLSI-Entwurf und Mikroelektronik; CAD-Maschinenbau; Logistik; Schulung, Training und Information."
