Software technology

The use of computers in design and related fields is widespread and will continue to expand. It is increasingly important for designers to keep up to date continually with the nature and prospects of new computer hardware and software technologies. For example, plastic databases, accessible through computers, provide product designers with property data and information on materials and...

Electronic-based data collection and management systems use various computer hardware and software technologies. Although some organizations design and develop their own systems, others purchase well-established e-clinical trials software from a wide range of vendors.

Process synthesis by superstructure optimization consists of the identification of the best flowsheet from a superstructure that considers many possible alternatives, including the optimal one. A substantial advantage is that integration and design features may be considered simultaneously. At today s level of software technology the superstructure optimization is still an emerging technique. However, notable success has been achieved in numerous applications. The reference in this field is the book of Biegler et al. [6]. 

Life-cycle models can be used to manage the elaboration of complex projects [1]. A simple but efficient model can be built up on the basis of a waterfall approach. This indicates that the project sequencing should be organized so as to avoid excessive feedback between phases, and in particular to upset the architectural design. More sophisticated approaches, such as V-cycle or spiral models, could be used to handle projects requiring more flexibility and uncertainty, as in the case of software technology.

Another milestone in Ge NMR was made by the introduction of high field instruments coupled with the advancement of software technology. Use of high field instruments is particularly advantageous for low frequency nuclei such as Ge. Observation of the Ge resonance of larger and less symmetric compounds became possible in certain cases. Use of advanced software has also widened the scope of Ge NMR spectroscopy. Thus, INEPT and DEPT pulse sequences achieved several fold signal enhancement (and hence corresponding reduction in machine time). Application of 2D techniques to Ge NMR spectroscopy has also been reported. 

Software tool vendors will only further develop and improve their software products if there is either demand for new and improved functionality from their customers or if they can cut down development, maintenance, and deployment costs of their software products. The latter driving force is largely independent of customer requirements but determined by the advances in computer science and software technologies. 

In conclusion, the software industry does not yet seem to be ready to absorb the more involved modeling concepts and software technologies like those brought forward in the IMPROVE project.
