Automating the Creation of Technical Software

Simulation provides a means of duplicating the operating environment of a topic of interest in a laboratory setting, but the environment itself is rarely the topic of interest. Providing the simulated environment requires access to personnel with expertise in the environment but without expertise in the topic actually to be studied, consuming resources but only providing the means to complete the project, not directly contributing to the project objectives. Other personnel are required to actually complete the project. This proposal describes the tools which allow someone not expert in a field to generate models in that field, or which allow someone with expertise but lacking programming experience to generate software.
