Abstract
We present a detailed description of our calculation of next-to-leading ord er QCD corrections to heavy quark production in e(+)e(-) collisions includi ng mass effects. In particular, we study the observables R-3(bl) and D-2(bl ) in the E, EM, JADE and DURHAM jet-clustering algorithms and show how one can use these observables to obtain mb(mz) from data at the Z peak.
