Abstract
The goal of the proposed three year research project is to design and implement modular, object-oriented, customizable and extendible, distributed software program prototype for structural analysis based on the finite element method. The software program will be developed on the basis of Web services.
A Web service is a collection of functions that are packaged as a single entity and published to the network for use by other programs. Web services are building blocks for creating open distributed systems, and allow companies and individuals to quickly and cheaply make their digital assets available worldwide. Opposite to other distributed component technologies (Distributed Component Object Model - DCOM, Common Object Request Broker Architecture - CORBA, ...) Web services do not rely on specific protocols, which require homogeneous programming environment servers and clients, but use standard Internet transport protocol HTTP and XML (Extensible Markup Language) specification.
The prototype software program developed on the basis of Web services will have the following properties: (a) developed software program can be customized and extended using web services developed in an arbitrary programming language and running on an arbitrary hardware and software platform; (b) developed software program can be used over the Internet by clients using a variety of different hardware and software platforms; (c) ability to combine different software programs (exposed as web services) to produce specialized software solution for specific problems; (d) to reduce the total cost of ownership of technical software programs, different distribution models for software programs will be developed.
The proposed research project is tightly connected and coordinated with the activities of the research group Structures and Construction IT at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, Institute of Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Construction IT, University of Ljubljana, leaded by Prof. ®iga Turk. The project extends and enhances the ides of the IST projects ISTforCE and ICCI. Principal investigator of the proposed project Matevž Dolenc has worked and finished his Ph.D studies in this research group.
