P R E F A C E
Advances i n information technology have revolutionized aspects o f shipbuilding, from preliminary design to assembly and shipyard management. This technology w i l l continue t o be an important factor i n fiiture productivity and performance. ICCAS '99 at the Massachusetts Institute o f Technology brought together a broad cross section o f the intemational academic and industrial community to address these issues. The papers presented ranged the f u l l spectrum, from reviews o f operational experience w i t h existing computer applications to discussions o f emerging advances i n information technologies destined to become the basis for the next generation o f shipyard computer systems. Papers were grouped into the f o l l o w i n g areas:
CAD/CAM/CIM Systems Operation and Management Product Modelling
Emerging Information Technologies Information Technology Infrastructure Detailed and Production Design Preliminary Design
Assembly and Construction
I n all, 86 papers were presented at I C C A S '99, and they are all published i n these three volumes. W e deeply appreciate the efforts o f the committee members, contributors and participants, all o f w h o m have helped this conference t o be a success. W e also thank the O f f i c e o f Naval Research f o r their generous support.
