Automated Coastal Engineering System: User's Guide
Abstract
The Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) is an interactive computer-based design and analysis system in the field of coastal engineering . In response to a charge by the Chief of Engineers, LTG E. R. Heiberg Ill, to the Coastal Engineering Research Board (US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, 1985) to provide improved design capabilities to Corps coastal specialists, the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) conducted a series of six regional workshops in July 1986 to gather input from Corps field offices concerning various aspects of an ACES. Subsequent to the workshops, the ACES Pilot Committee and various working committees were formed from coastal experts throughout the Corps, and the Automated Coastal Engineering (ACE). Group was formed at CERC. The general goal of the ACES is to provide state-of-the-art computer-based tools that will increase the accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of Corps coastal engineering endeavors.
