market segmentation scheme,<br />

please refer to the Dataquest High-Technology<br />

Guide—Segmentation and Glossary.<br />

Dataquest defines <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong> as systems<br />

used in the mechanical; architecture, engineering,<br />

and construction (AEC); GIS/mapping; and<br />

<strong>electronic</strong> <strong>design</strong> <strong>automation</strong> (EDA) application<br />

areas. The <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong> market is defined<br />

according to the following segmentation<br />

scheme:<br />

• <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong>/<strong>CAE</strong><br />

- Mechanical<br />

- AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and<br />

Construction)<br />

- GIS/Mapping (Geographic Information<br />

Systems)<br />

Definitions<br />

This section lists the definitions that are<br />

specific to this document. Complete ddinitions<br />

for all terms can be found in the Dataquest<br />

High-Technology Guide—Segmentation and<br />

Glossary.<br />

Application definitions are as follows:<br />

• Mechanical—Mechanical <strong>CAD</strong>/<strong>CAM</strong> refers to<br />

computer-aided tools used to <strong>design</strong>, analyze,<br />

document, and manufacture discrete<br />

parts, components, and assemblies.<br />

• Architecture, Engineering, and Construction<br />

(AEC)—This segment covers the use of<br />

computer-aided tools by architects, contractors,<br />

plant engineers, civil engineers, and<br />

other people associated with these disciplines<br />

to aid in <strong>design</strong>ing and managing<br />

buildings, industrial plants, ships, and other<br />

Vfpes of nondiscrete entities.<br />

• Geographic Information Systems<br />

(GIS)/Mapping—This is a computer-based<br />

technology, composed of hardware, software,<br />

and data used to capture, edit, display,<br />

and analyze spatial (tagged by location)<br />

information.<br />

• Electronic Design Automation (EDA)—^This<br />

segment covers computer-based tools that<br />

axe used to automate the process of <strong>design</strong>ing<br />

an <strong>electronic</strong> product including printed<br />

circuit boards, ICs, and systems. EDA<br />

includes E<strong>CAE</strong>, IC Layout, and<br />
