Esprit ’89 : Proceedings of the 6th Annual ESPRIT Conference, Brussels, November 27 – December 1, 1989

The 6th ESPRIT Conference is being held in Brussels from the 27th November to the 1 st December 1989. Well over 1500 participants from all over Europe are expected to attend the various events during the week. The Conference will offer the opportunity to be updated on the results of ongoing Esprit projects and to develop Europe-wide contacts with colleagues, both within a specific branch of Information Technology and across different branches. The first three days of the week are devoted to presentations of Esprit I projects, structured into plenary and parallel sessions; this year there is special emphasis on panels and workshops where participants can exchange ideas and hold in-depth discussions on specific topics. The different areas of Esprit work are covered: Microelectronics, InformaƯ tion Processing Systems, Office and Business Systems, Computer Integrated ManufacƯ turing, Basic Research and different aspects of the Information Exchange System. During the IT Forum on Thursday 30th November, major European industrial and political decision-makers will address the audience in the morning. In the afternoon, different aspects of Technology Transfer will be discussed with the participation of outside experts, and presentations on the future plans for community R & D in IT will take place Front Matter....Pages i-xiii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Wafer and Epilayer Improvement Correlated with Device Performances for Inp Based Optoelectronics....Pages 3-9 Depth and Motion Analysis: The Esprit Project P940....Pages 10-30 Cad Interfaces — A Key to Computer Integrated Manufacturing....Pages 31-46 Construction and Management of Distributed Office Systems Achievements and Future Trends....Pages 47-58 Front Matter....Pages 59-59 Design of a Speech Decoder for Digital Mobile Radio: High Level Synthesis with Cathedral II Versus General Purpose DSP Processors....Pages 61-72 A Self-Consistent Thermal Simulator of MMIC Multi-Gate Gaas Active Devices....Pages 73-88 Advice Project: Final Balance and Future Perspectives....Pages 89-99 Bipolar CMOS Esprit Project....Pages 100-109 The Layout Automation Tools in the CVS IC Design System....Pages 110-125 Reconfiguration in a Microprocessor: Practical Results....Pages 126-137 Hierarchical Design Rule Check for Full Custom Designs....Pages 138-147 Modular Testing supported by Block Environment Description....Pages 148-155 Multichip Packages in the Esprit Programme....Pages 156-164 Three-Dimensional Simulation of VLSI Devices....Pages 165-179 Software for Modelling Semiconductor Devices in Three Dimensions....Pages 180-194 SPI: A Practical and Open Interface for Electronic CAD Tool Integration....Pages 195-206 Large Diameter Semi-Insulating GaAs Substrates Suitable for LSI Circuits....Pages 207-217 Advanced Manufacturing System A.M.S.....Pages 218-237 Front Matter....Pages 239-239 ESPRIT Project 125 GRASPIN: Achievements and Experiences....Pages 241-247 Performance Interpretation in an Intelligent Help System....Pages 248-257 Front Matter....Pages 239-239 Knowledge Representation in Eurohelp: Modelling Operation and Understanding of Computer Applications for Help Systems....Pages 258-270 Reliability and Quality in European Software Technology (REQUEST)....Pages 271-276 X L F L: Extended Logical Form Language....Pages 277-287 Advice-Giving Dialogue: An Integrated System....Pages 288-301 Algebraic Specification with Functionals in Program Development by Transformation....Pages 302-320 Knowledge-Based Graphical Dialogue: A Strategy and Architecture....Pages 321-333 ASPIS: A Knowledge-Based Approach to Systems Development....Pages 334-344 Parallel Computers for Advanced Information Processing: The achievements of ESPRIT Project 415....Pages 345-360 Knowledge Base Development in a Standard Framework....Pages 361-374 An Intelligent CASE Tool for the Jackson System Development Method....Pages 375-388 PIMS, a Project Integrated Management System....Pages 389-402 Diagnostic Reasoning With the QUIC Toolkit....Pages 403-419 QUIC Toolkit Demonstrator Applications....Pages 420-448 The GRADIENT Backbone Architecture....Pages 449-458 The DAIDA Demonstrator: Development Assistance for Database Applications....Pages 459-474 AMORE — Object Oriented Extensions to Prolog for the RUBRIC Implementation Environment....Pages 475-489 PADMAVATI Parallel Associative Development Machine as a Vehicle for Artificial Intelligence....Pages 490-499 The KADS Knowledge Based System Methodology....Pages 500-512 Technical Diagnosis Based on Numerical Models Using PROLOG III....Pages 513-527 Presentation of the Sedos Estelle Demonstrator Project....Pages 528-542 Front Matter....Pages 239-239 The Alf Approach to Process Modelling....Pages 543-553 The DRAGON project....Pages 554-568 Real-Time Perception Architectures: The Skids Project....Pages 569-581 System Measurement and Architecture Techniques (SMART)....Pages 582-593 The Kiwi(S) Projects: Past and Future....Pages 594-603 Loco, a Logic-based Language for Complex Objects....Pages 604-616 Front Matter....Pages 617-617 The Gec Matrix Coprocessor: A New Architecture for Real Time Control Applications....Pages 619-625 Production Activity Control (PAC): Pilot Implementation and Project Evaluation....Pages 626-635 Integrated Planning and Off-Line Programming System for Robotized Work Cells....Pages 636-660 Cim-Osa - Its Goals, Scope, Contents and Achievements....Pages 661-673 Integration of Dynamic Expert Scheduling in Production Control....Pages 674-687 Cooperating Expert Systems as CIM Modules....Pages 688-709 Conformance Testing CNMA Phase 3 (CCT)....Pages 710-719 ACCORD : Developing Concepts Towards Integration of Analysis and Design....Pages 720-739 System Builder Area of Vitamin Project Description: Major Achievements....Pages 740-756 Advanced Active Control Algorithms for Industrial Robotics.
