Does anyone know what the ADVAT acronym stands for? It always seems to pop up in relation to Smartlinks.

Any idea which book this first showed up in?

I don't know what it stands for, but I'm pretty sure it's a standard for the technology used, like say an ISO or IEEE standard.

Don't quote me, but I *believe* it stands for Automated Direction/Vector Assessment Technology.

Of course, that could be a RL ADVAT and I'm mistaking them.
