Facilities Management With CADD

Abstract:

Tyson led a project that began in 1985 to develop an integrated alphanumeric and graphic database for facilities management at Stanford University. Many large institutions could benefit from such a system in managing their physical assets, but Tyson's group found that no truly integrated database currently exists. The system developed at Stanford combines an alphanumeric database written in SPIRES, a computer language developed at Stanford, with a modified CAD package for a workable, though sometimes cumbersome, system.
