Vanguard Iris Project - Cost Modelling Network May 1 2006

Vanguard Global Knowledge Portal - http://wiki.vanguardsw.com/ - Iris - Global Knowledge Portal - network of example models - to provide solutions to common problems.

Vanguard have completed the next version of DecisionPro (code name Iris). This software greatly enhances the component technology and web integration. Vanguard have a public server farm set up to act as a "Wiki" style repository for components and applications. So, we can make our models available to all Web users, the UWE SEEDS team will Publish these on the Vanguard server and put a link to it on our site. Vanguards' goal is to create a global library where researchers from many universities can share components.

DecisionPro Server

Vanguard have completed the next version of DecisionPro (code name Iris). DecisionPro is now called Vanguard Studio. This software greatly enhances the component technology and web integration. They plan to donate software to UWE and other universities. Vanguard have a public server farm set up to act as a "Wiki" style repository for components and applications. So, we can make our models available to all Web users, the UWE SEEDS team are Publishing these on the Vanguard server and putting a links to it on our site.

Vanguard Global Knowledge Portal - Spar Example - Wing Spar Example - Spar - Translated from Protege Ontology - outputs results to other languages - e.g. XML, SVG, Java.

Vanguard DecisionPro performs costing and decision support calculations based on equations entered in Protege. The resultant calculated tree is then output into a variety of visualation tools that read and display semantic XML based languages, or translated into other languages such as Java for Cost Estimator.
