The paper deals with the industrial application of decision supported systems. Suchsystems are well known since many years but concrete industrial applications are more or less missing until now. On a particular example some problems in developing and using of a decision supported system are discussed. For example designing the knowledge base and especially the acquisition of the necessary data and facts. For minimising the tool changing and adjustment time of a continuous rolling line producing hollow steel sections, a simple decision supported system-called BERASYS-has been developed, implemented and tested. First experiences show a good acceptance from the operators and a remarkable reducing of the adjustment time.

Increase in the complexity of VLSI digital circuit design demands faster logic simulation techniques than those currently available. One of the ways of speeding up existing logic Simulation Agorithms is by exploiting the inherent parallelism of the sequential version. In this paper, we explore the possibility of mapping an event driven logic simulation algorithm onto a cluster of processors interconnected by an ethernet. The set of events at any simulation time. step is partitionecl by the Master Task (running on the host processor) anlong the Worker Tasks(running of the other processor's). The partitioning scheme ensures a balanced load. Each Worker Task determines the fanout, elementts, evaluates them independently and comes up with the new event list which is passed onto the Master Task. After receiving the event lists from all the workers, the Master Task increments the simulation time step, computes the new event list partition for the next simulation cycle. We have implemented this distributed logic simulation algorithm on a set of 8 VAXstations using CT - a package for distributed programming. The paper concludes with a note on the speedup figures obtained on the ISCAS benchmark circuits.

LUEDEKE, GFARNHAM, RBJR.George Luedeke
Jr.: received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his MS degree in Product Design from Illinois Institute of Technology. Early in his career Mr. Luedeke joined General Motors Corporation as a designer responsible for development of people mover and rail rapid transit systems. From 1964 to 1974 he was with Hughes Aircraft Company. At Hughes he performed analyses and developed designs for a wide variety of program and proposal efforts such as: High Speed Ground Transportation (DOT) Task Force Command Center (NAVY) Panama Canal Marine Traffic Control Center (Panama Canal Co.) Royal Iranian Navy Command Center (Iran) Tactical Information Processing and Interpretation Center (Air Force) and WALLEYE CONDOR and PHOENIX Missile Systems (NAVY). He also had marketing development responsibilities related to the diversification of Hughes resources in civil business areas such as: Automatic train control (WMATA BARTD SCRTD) water/sewage treatment plant automation (Santa Clara County) Aqueduct Control (SWR) Hydrometeorological data collection (BPA WMO) and Salton Sea basin systems analysis (Dept. of the Interior). He was responsible for combat system integration for the Hughes 2000T Surface Effect Ship (SES) proposal. He also conducted detailed studies concerning ship flexure for the Improved Point Defense Target Acquisition System Program and for the definition of operational High Energy Laser weapon installations on a series of conventional monohulls (DLG DD and CVN). Since 1974 Mr. Luedeke has been employed at RMI Inc. (formerly Rohr Marine Inc.). During this time he has held several positions. His responsibilities have included directing a number of studies on advanced SES concepts managing activities defining mission/cost effectiveness of military and commercial SES's including defining the operational benefits and enhanced survivability characteristics of cargo SES's for high speed military sealiftfor NA TO and Southeast Asia

This paper will present the results of a marketing, engineering, and economic analysis of advanced marine vehicles done by IMA Resources, Inc. and RMI, Inc., in support of a Maritime Administration project to study “Multimode Express Shipping”. The study was conducted in 1981 and examined the economic benefits of using advanced marine vehicles as express cargo vessels in domestic and international service. Commodity characteristics, desirable express carrier rates, and potential high payoff service and route alternatives were identified. Advanced marine vehicles were surveyed and sized to meet desirable deadweight and block speed objectives. The costs of operating these craft on a variety of trade routes were calculated using an advanced marine vehicle economic analysis program. Revenues, expenses, break-even, profit and loss, cash flow requirements, tax summary and economic indicators (i.e., cost/ton – mile, etc.) were projected over the expected life of the vehicles as was return on investment. Traffic density and market penetration considerations narrowed the field of choice to smaller sized advanced marine vehicle carriers (i.e., 50 and 250 ton deadweight) and to three international and five domestic routes.
