FILES INCLUDED IN THIS CD-ROM ++++++++++++++++ 1. INTRODUCTION ++++++++++++++++ The COBEM 2001 PROCCEDINGS CD-ROM was developed to allow the access to the full papers and to all information about 16th Brazilian congress of Mechanical Engineering - COBEM 2001, independently of the available computer or operational system. This was possible due to the applied structure of the CD-ROM, based on HTML files, which can be accessed by several browsers (for example: Internet Explorer 4, Netscape Navigator 4, Opera, etc.) and by converting the text of the papers to PDF format. These files can be accessed by Adobe Acrobat Reader, or by other compatible PDF reader software. The Organizing Committee of COBEM 2001 hopes that these instructions can help the users to navigate through the COBEM 2001 PROCCEDINGS CD-ROM. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. HOW TO USE THE CD-ROM +++++++++++++++++++++++++ By inserting the COBEM 2001 PROCCEDINGS CD-ROM in the CD driver, your default browser will be started and the CD-ROM opening screen will be displayed. This will happen only if the Auto Start option of the operational system is set. If this option is not available or not allowed, you may just open the file 'default.htm' located at the root directory of the COBEM 2001 PROCCEDINGS CD-ROM. If you do not have any installed browser, it is still possible to access the full paper files directly. These procedures are explained in section 4 of this instruction manual. The opening screen of the COBEM 2001 PROCCEDINGS CD-ROM is similar to the one of COBEM 2001's Web Site. Click on the CONTINUE button to access the main menu. This menu has the following topics: 2.1. INTRODUCTION - Basic information, the Organizing Committee team, the applied management system, and some statistical data are presented. Clicking on the corresponding subtopics of the vertical menu can access these informations: Forewords, Organizing Committee, Symposia Committee, Host Institution, Statistics and Management System. 2.2. FULL PAPERS - The full paper texts, in PDF format, are organized by each Symposium as volumes of a book. A PDF reader software is required to view/print the full papers. If you do not have Adobe ACROBAT READER, or any compatible software installed in your computer, see the additional instructions in section 3. Clicking on the Symposium button, the PDF opens the first page of the Symposium's volume. Using the left vertical menu you can select the paper ID (TRBXXXX), Title, or author's name. By clicking on "PaperID", "Title" or "Authors", the summary of all papers included in this volume/Symposium is presented. When you select a paper, it is shown automatically, starting from its first page. All PDF files have good graphical quality and high resolution. The image that you see depends on the resolution of the used monitor/display adapter. Using the Print option of the ACROBAT Reader, after selecting the desired page range, papers can be printed. Post Script or color printers with high resolution are recommended to achieve high printing quality. 2.3. LECTURES - All available Invited lectures texts, organized by title and by author, are included here. By clicking on 'Lectures' the PDF reader is opened showing the first page of this volume. By clicking on 'Title' or 'Author', the summary of all papers included in this volume is presented. When you select a lecture, it is shown automatically, starting from its first page. 2.4. REVIEWERS - The reviewer’s names, email and Institution is grouped by Symposium. 2.5. SPECIAL EVENTS - General events, Plenary Sessions, Short Courses, Round Tables, Tutorials and the list of the Invited Lectures are presented.
