Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

I doubt there is probably any term or combination of terms that hit the press more often at this point than do Information Highway, Information Superhighway, Infobahn, or National Information Infrastructure. Unfortunately, however, that means they are also over used, abused, and under defined because we are in such an early stage. I can share some ideas with you about what this thing is, what some of the real thinking going on in terms of what is driving the creation and definition of an information highway, what it might look like, what are the roles of the players who will need to work to make this thing be. So that is kind of the road map for our highway.
