The NLR in the Netherlands renders scientific support and technical assistance for the design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. The approach of NLR can be characterized by integration of experimental and theoretical investigations. For this an integrated computer and terminal network has been developed that links both NLR laboratory sites. Based on this development, knowledge transfer to other organizations at the moment is realized mainly via computer-based information systems. The CAD systems that belong to these systems have proven to be ideal carriers of technical knowledge. CAD systems to be used in an organization have to be integrated in the existing infrastructure for information processing. As a result, NLR is active in combining the aspects of automation and organization that are relevant for the realization of an integrated infrastructure for information processing.
