  1. E-Commerce: A New Frontier for Engineering Software and Services Mauro Mangini (Geodeco S.p.A.) Bogliasco (GE), Italy Byron Protopsaltis (Fides DV-Partner) Muenchen, Germany

  2. Work under way within ISTforCE Remote User Specialised Engineering Software & Services (RESS)

  3. Software Rental Service (SRS) Virtual Lab Test Service (VLTS) Automatic Engineering Service Provider (AESP) Remote User Specialised Engineering Software & Services

  4. Services in RES • AESP (Automatic Engineering Service Provider) - where to the user (or better say to the "customer") an engineering service is provided • SRS (Software Rental Service) - where to the user engineering software tools are provided • VTLS (Virtual Test Lab Service) - where special services for simulation of real structural behaviour are provided

  5. Goal we Want to Achieve To enhance the capabilities of Engineers by: • Providing TOOLS to accomplish their tasks • Providing SERVICES of performing their tasks

  6. Provides Low Level Services: Database querying Goods Ordering Real-Time Information Requires: Limited Interaction with the User EC in Civil EngineeringCurrent Situation

  7. High Level Services: Consulting Software Rental Co-operative Working Requires: Higher Level of User Interaction EC in Civil EngineeringPerspectives

  8. Automatic Engineering Service Provider (AESP) An Entity Available in Internet: • Interact Autonomously with the User • Explain the Available Services • Advise on the Use of such Services • Negotiate • Use Electronic Signature • Provide Limited Free Services

  9. Automatic Engineering Service Provider (AESP)

  10. Fields of Application of AESP • Environmental Load Services • Seismic Risk • Special Design Services • Special Foundation Design • Concrete Design

  11. An Information Level where the user gives information about the services he needs A Selection Level where the user selects the service and start a first free of charge interaction with it A Service Level where the user will be prompted with the interface for actually using the selected service. Contains the negotiation Protocol AESPLevels of Interaction

  12. AESPStructure

  13. Information Flow

  14. Rule Based System for User Interaction

  15. GIS System for Free of Charge Services

  16. Interactive Free of Charge Services (Structure Information)

  17. Requires: Building Geographical Location; Soil Characteristics; Provides: Peak Ground Acceleration; Response Spectra for different return periods. Seismic Risk Assessment

  18. Characterization of Seismic Sources Seismic Catalog Earthquake Occurrence Model Attenuation Law for Rock PSHA Site-Specific Soil-Specific Hazard Curves Site-Specific Rock Hazard Curves Convolution AF(F) Soil Modeling (SUMDES) Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Soil Suite of 10 Rock Ground Motion Recordings Geodeco's Procedure with Rock Hazard Curves at Site Available

  19. Special Foundations

  20. Will allow to: Use Remotely Deployed Geotechnical Design Applications: Design of Excavation Walls Wall Dimensioning Ground Failure Slope Stability Pay a Fee Depending on Actual Usage Software Rental Service SRS

  21. Login to the ISTforCE Platform Establish access to the Document Management Server and Product Model server to get the data Select suitable application: Download Start Application Server Proceed with calculation Have access to the Help Desk System SRS – Selection Level

  22. Windows Application Server Based Computing on Provider Site Terminal Server Windows 2000 or MetaFrame / Citrix Cost calculation depending on a charging model Paying System: Charge Credit Card or Send Invoices Server Based Computing

  23. Charge depends on : Time using the software Which Application Program feature used Basic features Advanced features Amount of Results Disk Space Application calculates costs according to “Software units” consumed Total charge = “Software units” * Unit Price License fees are based upon actual usage Charging

  24. SRS Interface Design Excavation Wall Dimension Wall Ground Failure Check Stability  Download  Start Application Server
