ATV-DSD Automated Transfer Vehicle - Distributed Simulation Demonstration 01.08.97 -> 31.08.98 Go here for details!!! Short description Usage of geographically distributed simulators via a ATM network. In this example one simulator is situated in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, and is controlled via a simulator in Les Mureaux, France. Main advantages No duplication of expensive simulators Development teams do not have to be relocated Integration of simulation into development process	CAPI Collaborative Aerolasticity Prediction over high speed Networks 01.01.98 -> 30.06.99 Go here for details!!! Short description Remote usage of specialised programs (in this case of turbineblades). This enables a for example a SME to use via Tele-cooperation programs only available in research centres. Main advantages Usage of expert knowledge and computational equipment via tele-cooperation Usage of advanced calculation methods Increase competitiveness
DAPPER Distributed and Parallel Application of PCB Placement Methodes for EMC Driven Design 01.06.97 -> 31.12.98 Go here for details!!! Short description A existing program for placement of components on a printed circuit board was extended and parallelised. It can now be used on a cluster of PCs/workstations. Main advantages Optimisation under consideration of EMC Interactive design possible due to increased speed of calculations Better quality of product even by reduced number of prototypes Shorter development cycle / reduced costs	DEMOMETER Demonstration of Parallel CFD-Methods for Flow Meter Design 01.11.97 -> 31.03.99 Go here for details!!! Kurzbeschreibung A existing CFD-program was ported to work on a cluster of PCs. Further modifications of the program allow its use without in depth CFD-knowledge. Main advantages Easy to use and fast Usage of existing PCs Usage of CFD-methods in industrial design by a SME Allows calculation of non-standard flow-meters
DISSY Driver Scheduling System for Public Transport 01.01.98 -> 30.04.99 Go here for details!!! Short description HPCN-technologies are used to improve the personnel planning process in public transport. This allows simulation of different planning scenarios under consideration of social and financial limitations. Main advantages Fast planning under consideration of social and financial limitations Significantly increased flexibility and productivity of planners Increased transparent for management	PARPLS Demonstration of Parallel Version of PLANTOUR 01.06.97 -> 31.01.99 Go here for details!!! Short description The optimal planning of routes for delivery of goods under consideration of intermediate depots is a highly complex and difficult task. The use of HPCN-technologies enables a faster and more efficient planning. Main advantages Efficient and fast route planning Improved usage of trucks Improved transparent
REDISE Remote and Distributed Engineering 01.11.97 -> 30.06.99 Go here for details!!! Short description A SME uses advanced software-engineering-tools available in a research centre via a fast network connection. A tele-conference is used to consult experts about specific issues. Main advantages Usage of expert knowledge, reduced training costs Shared usage of expensive software-engineering-tools High quality of software from the early development stage Reduced travel time and cost	.
