Preeminent in its field, Mechanical Engineering Abstracts contains the
facts, figures, and discoveries engineers need in order to make faster,
more authoritative decisions. Now expanded and jointly published with
Engineering Information, this is the only abstracts journal that surveys
and summarizes the worldwide literature in mechanical engineering, engineering
management, and production engineering. Presenting theoretical perspectives
as well as specific applications, the journal reports on key developments
published in journals, articles, and conference papers. The result is
a comprehensive information base indispensable to specialists who need
hard facts in order to evaluate existing projects or initiate new ones.
Abstracts provide researchers' methods and conclusions in clear, compact
form, making it easy to absorb key facts in a fraction of the time. Besides
providing details on current research results, Mechanical Engineering
Abstracts contains specific information that shows how other engineers
around the world are handling opportunities as well as problems. Project
engineers and managers can count on this journal for access to global
developments that affect their work.

Abstract
Computer hypermedia technologies offer significant possibilities
for integrating data, information, and multifaceted knowledge
resources abounding in existing and next-generation nuclear
plant operations. A hypermedia system may be viewed as a set
of nodes and links allowing nonlinear access to plant information
residing in computers regardless of format. The process of
accessing information in hypermedia systems is known as navigation.
After a review of the state of the art, quantitative criteria
are presented for the development of hypermedia databases
and a fuzzy graph-based methodology for navigating the large
information spaces involved in nuclear plant operations. In
the developed methodology, membership functions embodying
context-dependent criteria provide application-specific tools
for navigation. The methodology is illustrated through numerical
examples and a Hyper-Card-based prototypical system for monitoring
special material in a next-generation nuclear reactor. |
