Service ORiented Computing EnviRonment (SORCER) for Large Scale, Distributed, Dynamic Fidelity Aeroelastic Analysis and Optimization

Abstract

A computational framework that supports dynamic fidelity for aeroelastic analysis and optimization is presented. The current research represents some of the recent developments in the Service Oriented Computing EnviRonment(SORCER)[1-6]. From an engineering perspective SORCER is a programming and computing environment that enables one to perform large scale system level engineering analysis and design space exploration that may be done on a geographically distributed heterogeneous computing environment. From a computer science view SORCER is a federated service-to-service (S2S) meta-computing environment that treats service providers as network peers with well-defined semantics of a service-object oriented architecture (SOOA). Here we present the evolution of SORCER from an Exertion Oriented Programming paradigm to a Variable Oriented paradigm and its ability to enable dynamic fidelity of engineering responses and their respective sensitivities. In Exertion-Oriented Programming the SORCER framework supports the development of an engineering analysis or design process by enabling the developer to easily combine services on the network to create a process (Exertion) that performs multidisciplinary analysis or design of an engineering system. Hence, the application developer constructs the Exertions (Tasks and Jobs) and their relationships. In Exertion-Oriented Programming the focus is on engineering applications or services and the combination of these services to produce an analysis or result. Variable Oriented (VO) Programming focuses on a specific engineering quantity and views its calculation as a function or a function of functions as opposed to an engineering application or service. This effort describes the development and capability of the VO programming along with a demonstration of the dynamic fidelity by performing aeroelastic analysis with six different fidelities of induced drag.
