The availability of effective global communication facilities in
the last decade has changed the business goals of many
manufacturing enterprises. They need to remain competitive by
developing products and processes which are specific to individual
requirements, completely packaged and manufactured globally.
Networks of enterprises are formed to operate across time and space
with world-wide distributed functions such as manufacturing, sales,
customer support, engineering, quality assurance, supply chain
management and so on. Research and technology development need to
address architectures, methodologies, models and tools supporting
intra- and inter-enterprise operation and management. Throughout
the life cycle of products and enterprises there is the requirement
to transform information sourced from globally distributed offices
and partners into knowledge for decision and action. Building on
the success of previous DrrSM conferences (Tokyo 1993, Eindhoven
1996, Fort Worth 1998), the fourth International Conference on
Design of Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing
(DrrSM 2000) aims to: * Establish and manage the dynamics of
virtual enterprises, define the information system requirements and
develop solutions; * Develop and deploy information management in
multi-cultural systems with universal applicability of the proposed
architecture and solutions; * Develop enterprise integration
architectures, methodologies and information infrastructure support
for reconfigurable enterprises; * Explore information
transformation into knowledge for decision and action by machine
and skilful people; These objectives reflect changes of the
business processes due to advancements of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in the last couple of years.

Engineering systems such as an aircraft or frigate are highly
complex and specifically designed to meet the customer's
requirements. This important book provides the information
necessary to acquire and support complex engineering systems
expected to last for a long time. Chapters in the first half of
"Engineering systems acquisition and support" examine the life
cycles of these systems, their design, testing and certification,
and the principles behind their acquisition. The second half
reviews topics including operations support and logistics, systems
maintenance, reliability and upgrades, and performance and risk
analysis and ends with a discussion of the need for continuous
improvements in these systems.
