Don't Let the Ocean Knock You Down
typically limited to a few advanced numerical modeling specialists who had both the expertise and patience to wade through the complex analysis process. In recent years, increasingly refined software has been developed. This software really benefits from increased computational power and advances in 3D graphics. We can now get a much clearer picture as to what is happening with our moorings subsurface. The article below outlines an analysis carried out by my firm, Dynamic Systems Analysis Ltd, using our ProteusDS software. We’re based in Canada and have cut our teeth over the last
Autonomy by (Software) Design
. Smart Software Moving Towards Full Autonomy The concept of autonomy and smart software can cover a wide range of levels of autonomy. To start with, this advanced software processing can be as straight-forward as improving the visualization of the incoming data. This might mean, for example, using 3D graphics techniques to help an operator process large volumes of data. The next step up in complexity, traditionally referred to as decision support, relies on the smart software to reduce the amount / complexity of data that the human operator has to view. The traditional example would be setting an
