Hardbound. This book contains both the papers and discussions from the IFIP Working Conference held in Budapest. It presents ideas, developments and applications of knowledge engineering and expert systems in the fields of architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and software and hardware engineering. The sixteen chapters (with their associated discussions) provide a detailed overview of this burgeoning field in computer-aided design. Contributors are from the USA, Japan, Eastern and Western Europe and Australia. Main - Expositions of the state-of-the-art developments of knowledge engineering and expert systems in computer-aided design across a broad spectrum of application areas. - Application areas covered include architecture, building, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and software and hardware engineering. - Material of relevance to both researchers
