State-of-the Art Review: Organization of Japanese Research and Development Computed-Aided Design

这项最先进的调查奖将派教授 杰弗里弗雷，电气工程系的， 美国马里兰州大学，到日本调查日本人如何 半导体制造商已经组织了他们的研发 以实现最高效率。 研究对象是日本人 由私营企业赞助的一项更大规模的研究的一半（ 半导体研究公司（SRC）），比较 组织多达五个CAD软件开发项目 在美国 总体目标是 确定日本的组织方法是否有效， 以及在软件开发的硬件，以评估 日本在未来软件开发中取得成功的可能性- 并评估计算机技术的当前状态- 日本的计算机辅助设计（CAD）。

This State-of-the-Art survey award will send Professor Jeffrey Frey, of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Maryland, to Japan to survey how Japanese semiconductor manufacturers have organized their R&D operations for maximum efficiency. The study is the Japanese half of a larger study, sponsored by private industry (the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC)), comparing the organization of up to five CAD software development projects in the United States. The overall objectives are to determine whether Japanese organizational methods work as well in software development as for hardware, to assess the likelihood of Japanese success in future software develop- ment, and to assess the current state of the art in computer- aided design (CAD) in Japan.
