Description

This volume contains the proceedings of the 1992 International Chemical Information Meeting and Exhibition, which took place in Annecy, France in October 1992. Covering the latest developments in chemical information in electronic form, the contributors discussed information available via online systems, optical media such as the CD-ROM and a diverse range of search and retrieval software. A comparatively large number of papers on graphics, particularly molecular graphics, are featured. It is hoped that this volume will provide an overview of how modern information technology is affecting the complex areas of chemical and patent information, and how this technology will increasingly affect data in many other subject areas.

Table of Contents

  • Information systems development in a cost-constrained environment
  • supporting end users - one size does not fit all
  • researching and analyzing information on international chemical companies
  • enhanced access to information via personal bibliographic databases
  • parallel distributed computing for molecular dynamics
  • simulation of large heterogeneous systems on a systolic ring of transputers
  • Autonom - a computer program for the generation of IUPAC systematic nomenclature directly from the graphic structure input
  • stereochemistry in the CAS registry file
  • chemical literature data extraction.

Description

This provides an overview of recent developments in electronic information technology and systems for the chemical industry. It features papers on general chemical information and patents, as well as biotechnology. It contains contributions from France, Germany, the USA, the UK, Japan and Switzerland. Chemical information - in a broad sense - has always had something of a pioneering role in the information world, due partly to its acute needs for highly specific searching and highly flexible retrieval. The present volume aims to provide the latest information on the subject, including the views of both producers and users of information services. Additionally, it illustrates how modern information technology is beginning to affect the complex areas of chemical and patent information.
