Research
GENERAL RESEARCH INTERESTS Systems Engineering and Integration How do we build systems engineering tools that can take advantage of Semantic Web technologies? Human-Computer Interfaces for System-Level Engineering Design Formal Models for Validation/Verification of Networked Engineering Systems. Computer-Aided Design of Bridge and Building Systems. Structural Engineering and Dynamics. RECENT RESEARCH PROJECTS PaladinRM Software for Visualization and Management of System Requirements ( pdf ). Also see PaladinRM Tutorial ( pdf ), June 2005. Aladdin : A Computational Toolkit for Engineering Matrix and Finite Element Analysis. Java-Enabled Diagram Technology . We worked on this project during the 2001-2003 timeframe, then it died, and now it's coming back to life again. GRADUATE STUDENTS AND RESEARCH ASSOCIATES Parastoo Delgoshaei , Software Design Patterns for Ontology-Enabled Traceability Scott Selberg. Backbone Infrastructures for System-of-Systems Modeling of Instrument Networks John Johnson. Behavior Modeling of Engineering Systems with LTSA. Ji Zhai. Ph.D. research is in Large-Deformation Fluid-Structure Interaction. Click here for a list of recent graduates.
