Further Advances in Chemical Information (Special Publications) - Hardcover

This book is the latest volume in an annual series reflecting on current advances in chemical information. It serves to spotlight what is happening now in the broad area encompassed by this subject, enabling us to witness changes as they occur, to observe new applications of new technology, and to monitor the interaction between general trading economics and the advanced information sector. Further Advances in Chemical Information covers a number of interesting themes that reflect the somewhat uncertain times now facing both the information industry and its customers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Topics covered this year include a comparison of different services in the 2-D and 3-D search and modelling areas, rapid developments in in-house systems, and neural network applications in chemistry. The series is now also well known for its technical and research papers. Further Advances in Chemical Information is up to date, international in scope, and forms a bridge between industry and academia. It is essential reading for information scientists and patent agents worldwide.

Containing contributed papers to the 1993 International Chemical Information Conference, held in Annecy, France, in October 1993, this volume reflects current advances in chemical information, reaction type informetrics and advanced information retrieval systems. Topics discussed in detail include a comparison of different services in the two- and three-dimensional search and modelling areas, developments in in-house systems and neural network applications to chemistry.
