Computer-Aided Design for Numerically Controlled Production.

Abstract

The report summarizes the activities of the M.I.T. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Project in the final implementation phase of a generalized 'system of software systems' for generating specialized problem-oriented man-machine problem-solving systems. Known as the AED approach (for Automated Engineering Design) the Project results are applicable not only to mechanical design, but to arbitrary scientific, engineering, management, and production system problems as well. Program accomplishments are supported by hardware and software innovations in computer graphics. All results have been programmed using machine-independent techniques in the Project's AED-0 Language, based on Algol-60. (Author)
