Automated Coastal Engineering System Version 1.07
Abstract
This note discusses a microcomputer-based software package that contains reliable state-of -the-art solutions to various coastal engineering problems. BACKGROUND In 1986 the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) recommended to the Office, Chief of Engineers that an Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) be developed to give Corps offices an interactive computer based design capability in the field of coastal engineering. The recommendation was in response to a charge by the Chief of Engineers, LTG E. R. Heiberg lll, to the Coastal Engineering Research Board to provide improved design capabilities to Corps coastal specialists. CERC formed an internal technical committee to develop recommendations for implementing an automated design System. This committee obtained input from Corps field offices regarding the form and development procedures preferred for the system. The information was obtained primarily from six regional workshops conducted in July 1986 and attended by more than one hundred coastal specialists
