ning networks for engineering projects. The system also automatically collects data from the networks for a mainframe computer time-and-resource analysis program. Contact: Hytech Consultants Ltd, Chequers Parade, Wycombe Road, Prestwood, Bucks HP160PN. Tel: (UK) (02406) 5392.
ECLIPSE Technical Background Software Sciences is to lead a £6.2m consortium project funded by the Alvey Directorate to develop a new integrated project support environment called ECLIPSE. The three-year project will involve over 150 man years of development work. It is the largest research project undertaken within the Alvey programme addressing the need for new software tools and methodologies to meet the challenge of computing in the 1990's in what has now become an international race. Other partners in the consortium are CAP, Learmonth and Burchett Management Systems (LBMS), the University of Lancaster, the University of Strathclyde and the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth.

Knowledge Systems Centre Set-up Sperry has intensified its participation in the artificial intelligence (AI) market place by teaming up with Texas Instruments, of Dallas, and IntelliCorp, of Menlo Park, California, in an extensive marketing and development agreement. Under the agreement, Sperry will market the only complete expert system development environment offered today. This will include the LISP-based Explorer from Texas Instruments together with the KEF expert system development tool from IntelliCorp. Sperry has consolidated its AI and expert systems activities into a multi-million dollar Knowledge Systems Centre. Based at Roseville, Minnesota, the centre is the focal point for Sperry Corporation's AI-related activities for both commercial and defence markets. Contact: Sperry Ltd (UK). Tel: 01-965 0511.
New Partnership Combustion Engineering,Inc., Impell Corporation of San Francisco, a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering, and Computervision Corporation of Bedford, Massachusetts, have announted an agreement to establish a new business unit that will develop, design and market computer-aided engineering systems for the electric utility and industrial process industries. The new unit will be a product development and distribution partnership and it will also provide post-sales engineering and consulting services. Contact: Kevin Pilon (USA). Tel: (203) 328 7739.

This book presents fundamental ideas in multicriterion optimisation problems which have recently attracted much interest in several scientific disciplines. It makes a valuable contribution to a rapidly expanding area of research which will be of interest to engineers in many fields, e.g. mechanical, civil and chemical, as well as those applying operational research to solve problems in their own fields of study.
Adaptive Computational Methods for Partial Differential Equations 1. Babuska, University of Maryland; J. Chandra, US Army Research Office and J. E. Flaherty, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute John Wiley & Sons Ltd, March 1984, 251pp., £17.00/ $26.35, ISBN 089871 1916 Proceedings of a workshop, organised and conducted by the US Army Research Office at the University of Maryland in February 1983, on adaptive numerical methods for solving partial differential equations. The papers in this proceedings focus on methodologies for three classes of p r o b l e m s stationary (mostly elliptical), evolutionary (mostly parabolic), and dynamic (mostly hyperbolic) in context with those aspects of computational practice that play an essential role in the design and implementation of the methods.
Computing in Design P. A. Purcell Butterworths, September 1984, 144 pp., Hardcover 0 408 01254 4 Presenting an account of the implications of recent developments in computing for the designer and architect. Its approach is twofold. It describes the range of computing techniques available to aid the design process. It also discusses the issues raised by the incorporation of the microprocessor into the designed object.
