    For exploration of promising intermediates in fine chemical industry, a new method using a computer-aided system for synthesis design, SYNSUP, is presented. The synthesis design system is utilized to generate promising intermediates. The promising intermediates are included in the common intermediates, which have more than one different target compounds.
    As compared with the current ongoing chemical process, the facility and validity of the proposed intermediates were evaluated with respect to candidates for new intermediates. Consequently, it was cleared that the extracted intermediates contained not only the reported intermediates but also the new ones. The new tactics is very powerful to find new promising intermediates among various chemical compounds. In addition, the total system including SYNSUP and extraction of common intermediates is automatically executed to a huge amount of chemicals in a computer, although the similar operation is impossible by manual.

  • Evolution and development of chemical information system

    A historical survey is given about the chemical information system, how it developed until today, how the development influenced the way the information is processed and utilized, and what role it played in the research and development of science and technology. The information system was encountered by two large revolutionary changes, one in 1960’s and the other in 1980’s. The former was a gradual change from the system that depended on paper to a system which depends on a computer. The latter was a more rapid change to a system that uses the Internet. The computerization was a change that was forced by a pressure that the paper system failed to address the large increase in the amount of information, producing new systems like CAS Registry that had not been possible with paper processing. The second revolution uses the Internet, enabling, for instance, a link between the primary and secondary information, leading to radical changes. Such development is still continuing. This paper also describes some background behind these changes.

    vascoda is a new portal for scientific information that has gone online since August 2003. vascoda is a central access point to quality information in all fields of science allowing interdisciplinary search, and offers access to all types of documents. This article describes overview of vascoda, its partners such as Information Alliance sponsored by Federal Ministry for Education and Research, subject-based Virtual Libraries and the Electronic Journals Library sponsored by German Research Foundation. In addition, it deals with future plan of vascoda with world-wide access, which will actualize by enhanced partnership with both domestic and international organizations.

  • No.12: The present state of protection system of a software

    The current protection status of software programs is mostly like that they are protected from the points of patent and copyright both. While patent right is a rule among persons who develop software programs, copyright is a rule among persons who develop software programs, sell them, and use them. Thus they have to be protected under the both of copyright and patent right. However, in the recent years software programs are likely protected by getting them dealt under the category of patent law. Some people used to say that the business methods themselves can be patents. Eventually patent offices of nations tend to emphasize technical aspects of software patents, so that it has become common that the current protection is generally accepted.
