ASCEND modelling environment
The ASCEND project is a volunteer effort to produce a highly usable mathematical problem-solving tool for engineers and scientists. ASCEND has been under development primarily at Carnegie Mellon University, since the late 1970s, but, with the retirement of Art Westerberg from that university, the development is now coordinated by a small group of academics primarily in Australia and the US. Development continues to be active, with several new features having been added over the course of the last six months, and we are still seeing strong continuing interest from the community. We are very eager to build up ASCEND as a alternative to the spreadsheet, with the benefits of visible/'readable' model structure and improved reusability that it offers to technical users.
