Title: Systems Integration for Manufacturing Applications, 1998 annual report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6207371

The Systems Integration for Manufacturing Applications (SIMA) Program is an intramural effort being undertaken at the National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST) to support the application of information technologies to the manufacturing domain. Initiated in 1994, the Program works with industry to develop technology solutions enabling integration of the systems used in the engineering and manufacturing of various kinds of products. The purpose of this document is to report on two fiscal years of the Program's technical activities; 1997 and 1998 (FY97-FY98). The intended audience for this document includes private sector organizations and federal agencies collaborating with NIST, other agencies participating in the federal Computing, Information, and Communications (CIC) effort, and the general public. This report is available via the SIMA web page (http://www.nist.gov/sima/) or by electronic mail request to the SIMA Program Office secretary. This report is comprised of three major sections: the SIMA Overview, the Project Accomplishments, and the Appendices. The SIMA Overview section provides a high-level description of the Program's goals, technical efforts, results, and progress. The Project Accomplishments section provides individual descriptions for each of the projects funded by SIMA in FY97 and FY98. Each project description includes a summary of the project's technical accomplishments along with a list of the project's collaborators. The Appendices to the report include a description of the organization of the Program (Appendix A), tables summarizing all collaborators enumerated in each of the project descriptions (Appendix B), a list of publications completed by the projects (Appendix C), and a list of products available from the projects (Appendix D).
