Software Solutions The assessment was performed on the software engineering processes for inte- grated navigation systems and ship machinery control systems. In accordance with the SEI-licensed Capability Maturity Model (CMM) based appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (IPI), the assessment team concluded that the overall Sperry Marine software engineering process was at the Defined (Level 3) Process Maturity Level.

Via a MAPI protocol within AMOS Connect, the SPOS weather system can automati- cally create e-mail messages or check the AMOS mailbox for new weather forecasts. The weather files containing wind, wave and cyclone forecasts are sent to the vessel on a daily or twice- daily basis via Inmarsat. Such that this is vital information for ship operations, a reliable link is essential and with the implemented connection, so the officers can be sure that the forecast is available whenever they need it.

YRS has acquired IBM's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Shipbuilding Solutions with software developed by Dassault Systemes in its aim to become one of the most efficient and low cost shipyards in the world. The PLM Solution fulfills YRS' criti- cal need for web-based product develop- ment collaboration to link its shipyard in Yantai, China with its headquarters in Singapore and its offices in Houston. Texas. With the integrated IBM PLM platform, comprised of CATIA V5 for collaborative virtual product develop- ment and ENOVIA LCA and ENOVIA Portal 3d com for real-time product data management developed by Dassault Systemes, YRS is already realizing the benefits of seamless sharing of all vessel lifecycle information between product development teams in the company. For more information from IBM Circle 86 on Reader Service Card October 2003 Making Ships Stronger, Safer GHS Load Monitor (GLM) is a soft- ware program used aboard ships to mon- itor stability and/or strength with various loads. It gives vessel operators the ability to quickly check the safety of present and anticipated loading conditions. GLM computes hull and tank characteristics directly from geometrical models of the ship and its tanks, helping to simplify the initial data preparation and elimi- nates a source of errors. It also leads to more accuracy over a wider range of trim angles, and makes possible flooding and grounding calcu- lations using the same software. Special versions of GLM can easily be produced to meet special requirements. Circle 87 on Reader Service Card 4 GTRC G. T. R. CAMPBELL MARINE CONSULTANTS LTD.
