Beskrivning

This book describes CCE, the CIME Computing Environment (for Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Engineering), a software platform for the development and execution of distributed manufacturing applications in an open environment. It is one of the rare books covering such a broad spectrum of advanced computing technologies, without giving too many details. The reader will gain an insight into all the issues affecting distributed manufacturing applications, helping to make better choices. The book is designed so that it may be used as a reference manual, satisfying specific topics of interest. The structure of the book and the reader's guide is shown in a diagram that helps the reader through the book.
