Peter Hale member of Systems Engineering Estimation and Decision Support (SEEDS) team. Research on automatically creating software by defining tree diagrams containing formulae and translating this to code. A tree based Protege representation is translated into program code in different languages. This is an alternative to manual coding that could become useful for computer literate users who are not programmers. Links to Peter Hales's publications.

Flash Movie explaining User Driven Programming approach. This shows an example of defining a very simple object (a rectangle). This object is then translated into an SVG CAD style visualisation, or tree based visual representations using XML and stylesheets or Flash, or using a Java applet.

Example of XML information automatically produced and then rendered for viewing. This is rendered using an XSL stylesheet.

Movie to illustrate use of a visual decision support tool (Vanguard DecisionPro) for object oriented cost modelling. Our own software was added to make this possible.

This has link to all of Christophe Brus' examples of Cost Modelling, Visual Cost Map examples, and Parametric costing examples. There are also explanations of the research approach and of these examples.

User Driven Programming Explanation. Wiki on the Protege projects communitity page of Stanford University. This research allows us to define a model in Protege and use a Decision Support tool (DecisionPro) customised with our own code to read and translate the Protege representation into various computer languages.

Interactive SVG Examples of component CAD type diagrams automatically produced from tree definition. This includes JavaScript code for resizing and interacting with the SVG. These SVG examples are created automatically using the User Driven Programming approach of reading from a visual tree and translating and outputting this to SVG code.

A Flash interactive tree demonstrating a browseable user interface. This visualises code that is automatically translated and output using our user driven programming approach as XML.

A Java applet interactive tree demonstrating a browseable user interface. This visualises code that is automatically translated and output using our user driven programming approach to Java.

An XML and XSL stylesheet interactive tree demonstrating a browseable user interface. This visualises code that is automatically translated and output using our user driven programming approach to XML.

An XML and XSL stylesheet Parametric costing of Engine. This allows parametric costing on the Web.

An XML and MSXML script code parametric costing of Engine. This allows parametric costing on the Web.

This XML example demonstrates a re-use of Christophe Bru's cost map where the colour coding is uded to represent categories of information rather than cost. Clicking Spar Illustrates this best as it shows different colours. This doesn't render in Mozilla Firefox.

These XML examples demonstrate the use of a schema and a DTD for validating the XML. In them I have included a reference to the Schema, and a reference to the DTD (commented out) and the inclusion of the DTD within the XML document to show all 3 ways of validating the XML.

The University of the West of England (UWE) web developers have created new pages for our UWE centre Aerospace Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). This means it's possible for anyone to navigate from the main UWE site to our pages. There are also new Systems Engineering Estimation and Decision Support (SEEDS) pages. The new AMRC page is at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/index.html. The new SEEDS pages are at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/seeds.html and http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/seedsresearch.html.

Graphics Generated from a Database - This is a simplified airfield approach chart, one of many generated in bulk from co-ordinate data held in a relational database. Thousands of these charts can be generated in minutes, rather than several minutes per chart if drawn by hand using a graphics editor. This also demonstrates the separation of content and formatting by means of an external CSS stylesheet; secondly the use of nested SVG transforms to align the text to the runways correctly and align the runways geographically.
