The emergence of new information technology has effected a dramatic change in the shipbuilding industry. ICCAS '97 Yokohama graphically revealed the current state ofthe art as well as the keen edge of technology.
The topics presented according to session organization comprise:
IT Projects in the Shipbuilding (Invited Papers) Case Report Initial Design Genetic Algorithm Information Technology CAD/CAM/CIM Hydrodynamic Design Robotics Robot Control EDI & STEP Structural Design Virtual Reality Product Modelling Simulation Based Design Manufacture
Accuracy Management
Concurrent Engineering & Virtual Enterprise Expert System
The papers are published in the same sequence as the conference sessions. Altogether 81 papers, including three invited papers, from 18 countries, were selected from more than a hundred abstracts by the International Programme Committee. The contents of EDI & STEP, and Virtual Reality are much more specific than before, and Accuracy Management became a main stream in this field of research and practice. Also, new trends in Product Modelling have become apparent. Basically, these two volumes show us the path our industry should take.
We are happy to publish these papers and deeply appreciate the efforts ofthe committee members, contributors and participants who led the conference to go on record as a success.
We also thank the Society of Naval Architects of Japan since this conference was held as a part of its centennial celebration.
