Innovative Approach to Build and Maintain an Analysis Management System Infrastructure

Inability to track design intent, and the flow of parameters across the multiplicity of modeling tools used in engineering, is a significant problem in fleet maintenance, and engineering in general. Beehive will apply its expertise in engineering knowledge management, and proprietary technology for representation and management of engineering measurements and metadata to this problem. Phase I will develop and demonstrate feasibility of metadata models for intent and parameter data flow using the Beehive framework and a companion document store such as SharePoint. User interfaces achieving automatic capture of parametric information will be designed and demonstrated. The Option project will prototype a database implementation of the intended system using one calculation tool to show feasibility of the system''''s interfaces to external tools.
