Overview
This volume contains case studies, theoretical papers and project development reports on one of the greatest challenges facing the new digital enterprises: the life cycle approach to management and production. Main issues discussed in the book include CAD/CAM/CIM/CAE, intelligent manufacturing, and control and robotics applications.
Synopsis
Proceedings from a November 2001 conference held in Budapest, Hungary, focusing on computer applications in manufacturing. Forty-nine contributions are arranged in sections on modeling and simulation; reverse engineering and CAD; life-cycle engineering; process and product development; energy sector, general planning; digital factory; virtual enterprises and holonic manufacturing; decision support in engineering and genetic algorithms; supply chain management; manufacturing control; and robotics. A sampling of topics: modeling and management of production networks, volumetric tools for machining planning, a net based solution for lifecycle engineering, the workflow-enabled civil construction enterprise integration, a planning and management infrastructure for complex distributed organizations, and virtual enterprises and security.
