Kawa
Technical knowledge management
Kawa is a conveyor of capitalization and sharing of technical and scientific knowledge
Capitalization of technical expertise gathered in dynamic and interactive notebooks
- Engineering skills are saved in the famous user-friendly Python language
- Documentation is easily accessible and the related algorithm can be executed from an intuitive form
- Automated sheet editing functionality allows a durable management of the knowledge by engineer team
- Sheets are sorted in a knowledge tree, to ease the access and the using of
the desired one. Their organization can be customized following a business domain.
Data processing by executing notebooks
- A full set of plots allowing a quick and easy analysis :
- 1D curves: real and complex curves, polar views, histograms
- 2D: mappings and contours renderings
- 3D views: points, quivers, surfaces.
- Data rendering in spreadsheet-like (even when they are multi-dimensional and/or huge)
- Data physical natures (length, time, etc.) are automatically set to the correct values
- Large variety of input/output formats are available to to ease data access andinterpretation
Optimize Knowledge organization
- Kawa can perform computes from the knowledge tree
organized as desired and can be used as a post-processing
tool and as an engineering formula box - Easy process of existing data or generation of new ones
thanks to a hierarchical organization - Metadata can be added for an efficient indexation facilitating
searchings
KAWA, with the CuToo platform, ensures an easy and durable sharing
- A version management allows a lasting consistency
- A validation workflow ensures the quality of data
- The definition of sharing unity and publishing of content
KAWA is compatible with other tools
- Data can be saved and re-opened in the open Amelet-HDF format.
- Sheet editing functionality allows extensions to any kind of custom
format - Kawa can be used on any desktop computer (Microsoft Windows 7 and greater, Redhat 7 and greater, others GNU/Linux)
- Interoperability with many processing tools like Excel (csv import and
export) for further spreadsheet treatments, Matlab (HDF format), …
