✦ Synopsis
150 representatives from the NATO countries met at the Technical University of Denmark at Lyngby, near Copenhagen. Of the 86 papers received, 35 were accepted. The opening address was given by Mr R. Voles, the programme chairman, who outlined the theme of the conference, namely, to bridge the gap between the expert in c.a.d, and the prospective user.
The conference was divided into seven sessions covering topics in reliability, modelling, microwave, analogue, digital and layout. The first paper was given by Dr Lindberg of the Institute of Circuit Theory and Communication at the Technical University of Denmark. He described the approach to the teaching of c.a.d, in Denmark and made reference to a number of programs developed in the Institute. Two in particular, ANP3 a linear circuit analysis program, and NAP2 a nonlinear analysis program, were demonstrated. Some time was made available on the 370/165 at the University for AGARD representatives to try out these programs.
Also given in the first session was a paper on the economics of c.a.d, by Mr A. Llewetyn, the director of the CAD Centre, Cambridge. The system in operation was described and emphasis put on the needs of the industrial users. Mr Llewelyn was asked if the lirfiits imposed by PO land lines had affected the capacity of the system. He replied by saying that the proposed new trunk network should alleviate the situation.
The second session devoted to reliability contained two papers on reliability prediction, one on reliable design and one on reliability or yield. The prediction papers were both sponsored by defence establishments in conjunction with academic institutions. A users view of c.a.d, related to reliability, N. A.
