TRP 39. Knowledge-based Information Resource Management System for Materials of Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor
January 2008 - Current
Research Objectives & Methods
This project proposes to create a modularized web-based information system with models to systematically catalog and analyze existing data, and guide development and testing to acquire new data. Technically speaking, information retrieval and knowledge discovery tools will be implemented for researchers with both information lookup options from material databases and technology/development gap analysis from intelligent agent and reporting components. The goal of the system is not only to provide another database, but to also create a distributable and expandable, platform-free, location-free online system for research institutes and industrial partners. Such knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD) processes generally include data integration, preparation and transformation, data mining and evaluation, and data visualization. Parallel to the development of those front-end analysis tools, web-based data updating and portal administration interfaces will also be designed and developed. Data collection will start during the early stage of the project due to its time consuming nature.
