Abstract:

	This project involves the development of a knowledge-based  environment for simulation
design, development and coding. This software development environment would provide
a common user interface, knowledge base, and data base for all computers used at
NASA-Dryden to develop and code simulations. The environment would encourage the
development of portable code. This would be accomplished by encouraging the user
to select routines and/or routine formats from a data base and by employing automated
code generation and code conversion programs. Coding practices which inhibit and
promote portability would be made readily available on the system documentation.
The environment would allow the user to build a simulation by responding to prompts
from the system. The user would be allowed to access code, subroutines, or complete
programs from other simulations as required. The innovation would significantly reduce
the cost of developing simulations and of rehosting them in other computers.

Potential Commercial Application:

Potential Commercial Applications: The product could apply throughout the aerospace
community which relies extensively on modeling and simulation for system design and
analysis. It could save time and money in developing and rehosting simulations and
exchanging them among contractors and government agencies.
