This grant funds a study of the viability and feasibility of               an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Reliability,              Availability, Maintainability Computer-Aided Design (RAMCAD) of                 Electronic Systems.                                                                  There is a great industrial need to reduce electronic design               lag time and improve design efficiency.  The objective of the                   planned center is to develop computer-aided life cycle engineering              models, techniques and tools.  This includes identification of                  design tasks which can be accomplished in parallel, tasks which                 need integration in the sense of optimization between complicating              requirements, and decision support techniques which can be applied              to assist design engineers.  An I/UCRC for RAMCAD of Electronic                 Systems appears to be one approach to satisfy the noted need.                   Alternative organizations, operations, and policies are being                   studied as are industry's interests and needs in research.  The                 study is also determining if the Center has the potential to                    become self-sufficient with industrial funding in a five year                   period as NSF funding is phased out.//
