On behalf of the CIMsteel project, Leeds University is authorised to distribute copies of the CIS/1 documentation to any company who is accepted as a “CIS Registered Developer”.
Such companies will normally be:
· Software houses who develop steelwork related software applications, and who have firm plans to implement commercial CIS translators (and/or CIS-compliant applications).
· Major end users of the CIS, who need access to the specifications to better understand how these can support their business needs.
Please note that the substantially enhanced CIS/2.0 specifications have since been published by the SCI (early in 20000).
1. Print this form (preferably on A4 paper).
2. Complete the form - giving details in BLOCK CAPITALS.
3. Sign the "CIS Registered Developer Undertaking" (on the form)
4. Post the completed form to Alastair Watson, Dept of Civil Engineering, The University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK.
