From page 15...
... John Rumble National Institute of Standards and Technology =;13 Rumble described four FIST experiences which provide lessons learned. One involved NIST's National Materials Advisory Property Data Network which integrated multiple materials databases.
From page 16...
... This prompted Kerschberg to point out that researchers on the Human Genome project had found a way to share information and that perhaps the M&P community could develop similar techniques. Rumble said that the Human Genome project has curators and is in any case only a subset of the field.

... to develop DOE defense program (DP) product-specific knowledge bases to assist designers in choosing welding processes, materials joint geometries, and processing schedules · to provide the foundation for rapid development of other SmartProcess systems for design and manufacturing SmartWeld, Mitchiner said, integrates the science of welding in a variety of models, ranging from knowledge-based and empirically derived models to predictive mathematical models.
From page 23...
... Discussion Kerschberg asked how long it took to run the finite element calculations that are utilized by SmartWeld. Mitchiner answered that calculation times depend On the complexity of the problem, but that problem set-up and the ability to view results were greatly enhanced by SmartWeld.
From page 24...
... The product used by Constant to demonstrate the courseware was a hand-held blender. Her discussion focused on the magnet inside the electric -motor of the blender, describing the fimction of the magnet, the materials and design requirements of the magnet, and the processing steps used to make the magnet.
From page 25...
... Constant replied that there is a lack of resources for teaching, and that the courseware is designed as an educational aid, not as a replacement for professors. Sonwalkar stated that he was trying to use computers in a swear manner at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, particularly in the liberal arts.
