Restructuring and maintenance of long living software systems
This project is running.
Among engineering sciences there are a lot of softwaretools which have been developped within extensive research programs. The value of this software is in the estimable reliability of its calculation results, even though the quality requirements of this software do not always come up to a modern standard. The aim of this project is to develop mechanisms and procedural methods how these systems, especially the E4-system for ship design applied in our institute, could be maintained and continously enhanced.

Abstract: The early design of a prototype dominated industry as ship building, needs software tools for a dedicated analysis of technical design decisions. Commercial software is often not able to handle such specific demands. Otherwise, a software development of one’s own is an ambitious task, which needs many resources. Especially small and medium sized companies are limited in such IT resources. Therefore cooperation with strategic partners can reduce the costs for developing and maintaining a software platform which can be used for implementation of one’s own technical “First-Principle- Methods”. A procedural wizard driven workflow can be used to implement a framework where engineers are able to put in small separate numerical functionalities. This concept will be explained by means of a potential theory method for calculation of rudder forces.
