Present state and future developments of the European geoid

AbstractA discussion of the dominant factors affecting the behaviour of long span cable supported bridges is the subject of this paper. The main issue is the evolution of properties and response of the bridge with the size of the structure, represented by the critical parameter of span length, showing how this affects the conceptual design. After a review of the present state of the art, perspectives for future developments are discussed.

This chapter discusses the support of quality management by Enterprise Information Systems. After a brief introduction in ISO9001, one of the principle and widest-spread quality management frameworks, this chapter discusses the design and implementation of a typical QMS and in particular of key performance indicators, indicating the present state of performance in the organization. While analyzing design and implementation issues, requirements on the supporting EIS system will be derived. Finally, the chapter presents an outlook onto future developments, trends and research. This chapter reveals that key performance indicators can be well integrated in EIS systems, using either relational or objectoriented storage technology.

Inspection Techniques

AbstractA review is given of the present state of MK classification, with a view to future developments in techniques and instrumentation. The principle of the complementarity of quantitative and visual inspection techniques is stressed.Included in the discussion are examples of problems which are currently outstanding. Among these are variable stars, marginal peculiarities, fundamental standards (with specific reference to the Sun), and representation of the third and higher dimensions.
