Review of the CAD/CAM Problem
In Chapter 3, I described the requirements for the CAD/CAM problem, a real-world problem that first got me on the road to using design patterns.
The problem domain is in computer systems to support a large engineering organization, specifically, to support their CAD/CAM system.
The basic requirement is to create a computer program that can read a CAD/CAM dataset and extract the features that an existing expert system needs to be able to do intelligent design. This system is supposed to shield the expert system from the CAD/CAM system. The complication is that the CAD/CAM system was in the midst of changes.
