Within the last 30 years, Manufacturing ResourcePlanning (MRP-type) computer systems have quicklyevolved from basic materials requirement planningsoftware to today's enterprise resource planning (ERP)integrated software packages that reside on client/servercomputer architecture. However, given...

This study investigates the relationship between threevisual representations (two-dimensional, three-dimensionalfixed, and three-dimensional rotatable) of multidimensionaldata, and the subjects' ability to make predictions basedon the data. Output of a momentum accounting system wassimulated and...
