The future success of Scottish optoelectronic and electronic industries depends critically on accelerating the time-to-market in a globally competitive environment. In this research programme, innovative methods of high-fidelity computational modelling of the next generation of optoelectronic and electronic devices and systems will be developed, using state-of-the-art parallel processing and Internet access.
Principal themes of this project are:
To
develop complex simulation tools for high-performance devices and
full-scale systems to aid and accelerate the conversion from
research concept to market product in Scottish optoelectronic and
electronic industries.
To
create a virtual laboratory where novel devices and complex systems
can be assembled, simulated and optimised, to be accessed via
Internet interfaces.
To
develop algorithms and visualisation tools for device simulation in
a parallel computing environment.
To make
the virtual laboratory available to Scottish industry to assist
their product development, with appropriate support and training,
remote visualisation tools and commercial software.
The project is funded for three (3) years by a SHEFC Research Development Grant until end October 2002, after which time it is intended to be funded by club subscription from the industrial partners and from other sources.
