Whereas conventional wisdom says the uncertainty treatment is open to all but specialists, the OPUS platform aims at providing much wider population with comprehensive tool for their genuine issues.

The OPUS platform targets are:

  • Genericity – it is designed to embed the methodologies that fit virtually any industrial problem setting
  • User friendliness – it is designed for engineering use and provides a sensible commercial like software interface, documentation and the ease of use
  • High Performance – it is designed to cope with genuinely complex system simulators that requires operating heavy computer models
  • State of the art methods – it is aimed to provide the users with a complete set of the methods picked from the latest scientific advances
  • Open Source – it is Open Source as the only way to prove the methodology transparency to keep evolving in pace with worldwide scientific progress
  • Integrated – it is meant to work with any computer code, so its API is designed consequently
  • Supported / Sustained – it is designed together with a business model that ensures its durability

Besides the platform, sustainable dynamic around the shared and open uncertainty treatments is the key objective of the project. From the conceptual point of view many communities agree on the need to uniform the glossary, methods and approaches into an industry wide standard, indeed, many are working on. From the software point, however, many remain stuck to their “old fashion”, although, sometimes, high performing, libraries and patches in their favourite computer codes. Challenging this approach by providing a software platform capable at interoperating with virtually any computer model and enhancing it with cutting edge methodology is another face of the OPUS main goal.
