DISCOE: distributed design and analysis to preserve intellectual property

The DISCOE project deploys a co-design environment to support distributed, collaborative design activities. The environment supports secure transmission of design data by remote analysis and execution (simulation) of vendor protected data. The analysis and simulation environment is platform independent and operates in a distributed, heterogeneous Web based computational platform. A distributed, searchable online library will promote design reuse and relieve the effect of parts obsolescence. Furthermore, the organization of DISCOE supports future expansion for other necessary analysis capabilities such as co-synthesis and support of HLA and man-in-the-loop simulation.
