A client/server database system for project evaluation
PETS (Project Evaluation Tool Set) is a networked client/server system that provides a full set of decision-support tools for evaluating the business potential of onshore and offshore development projects. This distributed workgroup computing system combines and streamlines preliminary design, routine cost estimation, economic evaluation, and risk analysis for conceptual developments as well as for ongoing projects and operations. A flexible and extendible client/server integration framework links in-house and third-party software applications with a database and an expert-system knowledgebase, and, where appropriate, links the applications among themselves. The capability and richness of inexpensive commercial operating systems and off-the-shelf applications have made building a client/server system like PETS possible in a relatively short time and at low cost. We will discuss the object-oriented design of the PETS system, detail its capabilities, and outline the methods used to integrate applications from other domains.
