Database facilities for engineering design

As the complexity of engineering design projects increases and the objectives for their performance become more demanding, there is growing interest in integrated databases that support a broad range of applications and various forms of automated entry. This paper is a tutorial on the design and implementation of integrated design databases. It addresses a variety of functional issues, including subsystem integration, maintaining consistency among concurrent users and various system architectures.
