Center for Advanced Engineering Environments
Established in 2001, CAEE focuses on various research areas including collaborative distributed knowledge discovery, interactive visual simulations, intelligent synthesis, and the development of advanced learning and training technologies.
The center's research aims to enhance the application of these technologies in complex engineering systems of the future.The activities of the center include the synergistic coupling of modeling, visual simulations, intelligent agents, multimedia and synthetic environments, human-technology interactions, computational intelligence, computational, information, and collaboration technologies in the multidisciplinary analysis, sensitivity studies, optimization, design, and operation of complex engineering systems.
It is located very close to NASA's Langley Research Center.
[1] The Center has the following five specific objectives: In addition to research, the activities of the Center include forming strategic partnerships and collaborative agreements with leading universities, industry, and software vendors who are developing collaborative distributed knowledge discovery and exploitation systems and intelligent synthesis environments for future aerospace and other high-tech engineering systems; organizing workshops and national symposia; and writing monographs and special publications on timely topics.
The current research activities of the center include: The CAEE website provides the following facilities:
