挑战
The challenge addressed by the Application Builder and COMSOL Server™ is the complexity and detail-oriented nature of traditional modeling tools. These tools often require significant expertise to operate, making it difficult for non-experts to interact with and utilize the models effectively. The need for a more intuitive and user-friendly interface that can present modeling results in real-time and be used in various scenarios such as lectures, demonstrations, and product simulations is evident. Additionally, there is a demand for a solution that allows models to be used as standalone applications or web resources, thereby broadening their accessibility and usability.
关于客户
The article does not mention a specific customer but rather focuses on the general user base of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This user base includes professional model builders, scientists, and engineers who require advanced modeling tools for their work. These users are likely to be involved in various industries such as software development, professional services, and research and development. They need tools that can simplify the modeling process, make it more intuitive, and allow for broader accessibility and usability of the models they create. The introduction of the Application Builder and COMSOL Server™ aims to address these needs by providing a more user-friendly interface and the ability to create standalone applications or web resources from complex models.
解决方案
The solution provided by COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.0 includes the Application Builder and COMSOL Server™. The Application Builder allows users to create intuitive and easy-to-use applications (apps) from complex models. These apps can have simple interfaces with buttons, lists, menus, graphics, and text, making them accessible to non-experts. The apps can be launched from within the COMSOL Multiphysics program or run as standalone applications or web resources with the help of a worldwide COMSOL Server license. The Application Builder includes tools like the Application Wizard, Form Editor, and Method Editor. The Application Wizard helps quickly create a user-friendly version of a model, while the Form Editor allows for the creation of detailed page layouts with various graphical user interface widgets. The Method Editor provides a Java® programming environment for adding additional functionalities and interacting with the COMSOL model tree and API. These tools collectively simplify the interaction with the API, integrate development into a single tool, and make the user interface a more natural part of the model development process.

UBM plc: Taking the pulse of the business and engaging employees with a far-reaching strategic transformation
UBM, a leading global events business, was undergoing a significant strategic transformation named 'Events First'. As part of this transformation, the company was preparing to complete the largest acquisition in its history - Advanstar, a US-based events and marketing services business valued at more than USD970m. The company faced the risk of human capital flight if it was unable to effectively engage top talent with the new strategic direction. UBM needed to make significant structural, process and systems changes, uniting its previously autonomous regional businesses. The challenge was to ensure all of its employees were engaged and aligned with the new future vision.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Wittmann EDV-Systeme launches IT monitoring services
Small and medium-sized businesses often lack the know-how and resources required for thorough IT system monitoring. Wittmann EDV-Systeme wanted to launch a solution to plug the gap – enabling it to improve its own competitiveness and that of its customers. IT landscapes are becoming ever more complex and outsourcing is gaining popularity, IT systems must nonetheless remain easy-to-use and extremely reliable at all times. Automated, round-the-clock system monitoring therefore represents an immensely valuable proposition for companies: downtime for business-critical applications can be avoided, and IT systems remain available at all times.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
