摘要

Computer Integrated Shipbuilding (CIS) systems represent a key technology for improving the U.S. shipbuilding industry in the coming decades. CIS will be based upon a completely integrated CAD/CAM system that provides computer control or assistance to all shipbuilding functions. The shipbuilding aspects embraced by CIS include business planning and support, engineering design and ship production planning, control, and automation. All business functions of marketing, ship delivery, and logistics support can be linked into such a CIS system. The objective of this paper is to provide a framework for shipbuilding technology modernization which incorporates a road map for the integration of shipbuilding functions via systematic planning and the simultaneous systematic application of computer technology. This CIS approach is unique in that it is data driven and is based upon a three architecture concept. This concept concentrates planning methodologies on building three formal integrated architectures: (1) the 'application and database architecture', defining what applications and databases must be implemented to support the using. community; (2) the 'computer systems architecture' on which those applications and databases will be implemented; and (3) the 'control architecture' which defines specific project and software management techniques to be used to implement and maintain the applications within the computer systems architecture. Each of the architectures is ultimately represented in the form of standards and procedures.
