National PDES Testbed Strategic Plan 1990 (National PDES Testbed Report Series)
Abstract
This document presents a long range strategic plan for the National PDES Testbed project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Testbed was initiated in 1988 under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Defense Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) program. A major goal of the Testbed is to provide technical leadership in a national effort to implement a complete and useful specification for the exchange of Product Model Data (STEP). The STEP efforts is led by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) TC184/SC4. This plan also outlines a number of supporting project threads that have been established for the Testbed: initiation of the Testbed, development of configuration management systems and services, development of testing systems to validate the proposed standard, specification and testing of application protocols, construction of a prototype STEP-based manufacturing cell, establishment of a product data exchange network, development of conformance testing systems, and management/ technical support activities....
