In a world where governments and large corporations rely on massive computer systems to operate, one mistake in developing a system can cost millions, if not billions of dollars. Enter AES, five years of work, and the development of a systems-performance tool. Easily operated by the user, being a modeling and simulation expert is not required. The system description is automatically translated into analytics, simulation models, and executed. This impressive software tool is a hierarchical entity-attribute specification.
Object types provide for efficient and consistent descriptions of hardware, software, and data.
AES promotes its NASA SBIR-funded product as giving users key benefits. AES computer software tool models how certain applications will affect a proposed system's performance. NASA SBIR funds brought the software system to fruition, now commercialized and applied to major NASA endeavors, like the Earth Observing System and the International Space Station. As the era of the International Space Station begins in 1998, AES has already provided system-engineering expertise to NASA, in a subcontractor role to IBM Federal System Division. The Space Station's DMS was reviewed as to requirements for traceability, completeness, and testability.
