Intelligent Gateway Processors as Integrators of CAD/CAM Networks,

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA163036 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The integration of dissimilar CADCAM hardware and software on local and geographically distributed networks is the major problem faced by large organizations today. The authors begin by examining the existing system for storage, retrieval, control, and distribution of design information at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and describe a new prototype Engineering Information System EIS. They then discuss the Department of Energy neutral Data Exchange Format DOEDEF for the sharing of mechanical drawings among DOE Installations. Finally, they describe the potential role of the Intelligent Gateway Processor IGP as a transaction controller for engineering resources among contractors of the Air Force Logistics Command. IGP capabilities include a unique interpreter driven user interface which permits the installation and modification of resources and the translation of dissimilar data formats, commands, and protocols, in aunified manner while running non-stop.
