This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a prototype Polymer Workbench - for use by scientists/ engineers in the polymer industry - using the concept and tools developed around Web Services. Large investments in developing models for use in polymer manufacturing are not effectively utilized as the usage is currently limited to few specialists because the user needs to navigate through a multitude of models in a multiple and highly disjointed user environment, often requiring tedious manual transfer of data and modeling results from one environment to another. The Polymer Workbench will address this need through applying Web Services concept designed to allow the user to access a large number of various polymer models through a single software platform with common user interface, database, and communication protocol for all models. This work will develop the common communication protocol by developing an XML-based markup language specific for polymers, PolymerML, to achieve standardization of the data and information flow between the user and models. The proposed work will address this important need in a very large industry where annual sales in the U.S. for polymer materials alone are $250 billion and expenditure on modeling and simulation exceeds $ 100 million.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发一个原型聚合物工作台，供聚合物行业的科学家/工程师使用，使用围绕Web Services开发的概念和工具。开发用于聚合物制造的模型的大量投资没有得到有效利用，因为用户需要在多个高度脱节的用户环境中浏览大量模型，通常需要繁琐的手动将数据和建模结果从一个环境转移到另一个环境，因此目前的使用仅限于少数专家。聚合物工作台将通过应用Web服务概念来满足这一需求，该概念设计允许用户通过一个具有通用用户界面、数据库和所有模型通信协议的单一软件平台访问大量不同的聚合物模型。这项工作将通过开发一种特定于聚合物的基于xml的标记语言PolymerML来开发通用通信协议，以实现用户和模型之间数据和信息流的标准化。在美国，仅聚合物材料的年销售额就高达2500亿美元，建模和仿真的支出超过1亿美元，这项工作将解决这一巨大行业的重要需求。
