Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Structural Engineering Date 2012-05-24 Abstract Interoperability, the ability of different software applications to communicate with each other, is one of the biggest challenges for efficient and effective use of advanced software technology in structural design and engineering. In practice, the problem of interoperability exists very much for the end-user since agreement on common standards does not exist despite the many efforts over the years. This paper discusses an approach to interoperability based on the assumption that one final common standard will probably never exist and that a more practical federated approach needs to be taken. In this paper the author demonstrates the concepts which a new conceptual infrastructure, called NetworkedDesign, provides to address the challenges of interoperability. The infrastructure contains a rich set of concepts for the user to express information through lightweight open objects and logical constructs which can be used as a basis for an ad hoc standard between applications.
