“mobile workstation” means a high-performance, single-user computer primarily used for graphics, Computer Aided Design, software development, financial and scientific applications among other compute intensive tasks, excluding game play, and which is designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended periods of time either with or without a direct connection to an AC power source.

“workstation” means a high-performance, single-user computer primarily used for graphics, Computer Aided Design, software development, financial and scientific applications among other compute intensive tasks, and which has the following characteristics:

(6) Whereas the Community is stepping up its efforts to develop substitute methods and computer-aided simulation models, paying particular attention to the work carried out by the European Centre for the validation of alternative methods (ECVAM), so that the goal of reducing experiments on animals may be achieved in the near future;

The European Community runs various activities in the different sectors concerned as part of its numerous research cooperation programmes: Brite/Euram (industrial and material technologies); Mast (marine sciences and technology); and research programmes in the fields of the environment, fisheries and energy, etc. 1 The press file for the conference can be had from office BREY 6/41. - 2 - The conference will provide an opportunity for taking stock of the state of progress and initial results of a number of projects currently under wa ...[+++]y: projects to develop composite materials for offshore platforms and to apply computer assisted design methods to shipbuilding (Brite/Euram programme); projects to study the natural variability of and changes in benthic ecosystems (fauna and flora connected with the seabed) (Mast programme); "Eros 2000" project to study pollution at river mouths; study of eutrophication (pollution due to algae) of coastal waters (Environment programme); development of systems to optimize shipping routes (pilot projects in the field of energy); activities of the Joint Research Centre on the study of the sea by remote sensing, etc.

These themes cover nine major technological fields: the problems of reliability, wear and deterioration of materials and systems; laser technology and powder metallurgy; joining techniques; new testing methods, including non-destructive testing and computer- aided testing; computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM); polymers, composites and other new materials; membrane science and technology; catalysis and particle technology; new technologies applied to articles made from flexible materials: because the problems it is currently facing present a good example of the way new technologies can be applied, the sector chosen to ...[+++] benefit primarily from this initiative is the clothing industry (cutting out, handling and assembly techniques, etc.).
