An Experiment Management Component for the WBCSim Problem Solving Environment

This thesis describes a computing environment WBCSim and its experiment management component. WBCSim is a web-based simulation system used to increase the productivity of wood scientists conducting research on wood-based composite and material manufacturing processes. This experiment management component integrates a web-based graphical front end, server scripts, and a database management system to allow scientists to easily save, retrieve, and perform customized operations on experimental data. A detailed description of the system architecture and the experiment management component is presented, along with a typical scenario of usage.
