title: CAD problem solving and technical systems modelling using distributed knowledge based systems
reg no: ETF5766
project type: Estonian Science Foundation research grant
subject: 2.9. System Engineering and Computer Technology
status: accepted
institution: Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn Technical University
head of project: Ahto Kalja
duration: 01.01.2004 - 31.12.2007
description: Investigate, estimate and compare computational tools (TRIZ etc.) for concept generation and exploration in mechanical design. Expected results: Report of the comparison. Modelling and simulation experiences in mechanical design;
Investigate methods of the knowledge base developing and using in network management. Develop data mining methods for network diagnostics. Expected results: Report of the estimation. Improved network management software;
Determine long-term developing trends of distributed CAD and mathematical modelling software. Expected results: New experimental CAD software program packages, which are working in new JAVA-based NUT programming environment, are using features of multimedia and internet/intranet;
Investigate the feature and methods of distributed design. Expected results: Solving new experimental design problems by parallel processing with rNUT system.
Develop new and improve existing rules of mapping from relational to object-oriented data model. Expected results: Improved set of rules. Experiences with data models.
Investigate software process improvement methods and standards. Expected results: Software process improvement methodology for Estonian software companies
