Previous studies on the use of computer assisted auditing technology and techniques (CAATTs) mostly focus on computer skills and perceived usefulness of auditors, and the influential factors from organizational environments; however, they seldom emphasize the group level. In this research, we study the technological adaptation process of a case company, which continuously implemented four CAATT...

An important stage of the designing process in the machine-building industry is the optimization of the strength characteristics of a new product--one of the aims of the said optimization being the reduction of material content of machines and mechanisms. However, carrying out strength investigations via fuU-scale testing of prototypes and models calls for considerable material, labour and time...

A variety of programs involving interactive computer graphics are available at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for the analysis and design of both univariable and multivariable control systems and for related instructional purposes. The principal features of these programs and the ways in which they are used in the curriculum are discussed.

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...

A new type of computer-aided engineering environment is envisioned which will improve the productivity of manufacturing/industrial engineers. This environment would be used by engineers to design and implement future manufacturing systems and subsystems. This paper describes work which is currently underway at the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on computer-a...

Computer-aided diagnosis techniques in medical imaging are developed for the automated differentiation between benign and malignant lesions and go beyond computer-aided detection by providing cancer likelihood for a detected lesion given image and/or patient characteristics. The goal of this study was the development and evaluation of a computer-aided detection and diagnosis algorithm for mammo...
