UNIFIED LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING (PART C ) ULCE

IN THIS PROJECT, SOFTWELL ASSOCIATES, INC. SEEKS TO RESEARCHAND DEVELOP VARIOUS CONCEPTS APPLICABLE TO DATA/KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION FOR DIVERSE ULCE (UNIFIED LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING) AUTOMATED TOOLS IN DISTRIBUTED HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENT. IN PHASE I, OUR GOAL IS TO DEVELOP THE FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN OUTLINES FOR AN AUTOMATED TOOL FOR SEMANTIC DATA INTEGRATION PROCESSOR, NAMELY INTEGDATA. INTEGDATA SHALL NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO HANDLE DATA INTEGRATION FROM EACH CATEGORY OF TOOLS USED IN AN ULCE ENVIRONMENT, BUT SHALL ALSO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE INTEGRATION OF DATA FROM THE SEVERAL TOOLS FOUND WITHIN A CATEGORY. OUR RESEARCH WILL INCLUDE A IN-DEPTH STUDY OF NEURAL NETWORKING AND ITS APPLICATION TO DATA INTEGRATION. THE PURPOSE IN CREATING INTEGDATA IS TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CURRENT IDEF SYSTEMS SUCH AS NEED FOR A GREATDEAL OF MANPOWER TIME AND LACK OF SEMANTICS RICHNESS.
