30 The aim of the ADAO module is **to help using data assimilation or optimization
31 methodology in conjunction with other modules or simulation codes in SALOME**.
32 The ADAO module provides interface to some standard algorithms of data
33 assimilation or optimization, and allows integration of their use in a SALOME
34 study. Calculation or simulation modules have to provide one or more specific
35 calling methods in order to be callable in the SALOME/ADAO framework, and all
36 the SALOME modules can be used through YACS integration of ADAO.
38 Its main objective is **to provide the use of various standard data
39 assimilation or optimization methods, while remaining easy to use and providing
40 a path to help the implementation**. For an end user, having already gathered
41 his physical input information, it's a matter of "point\&click" to build an
42 ADAO valid case and to evaluate it.
44 The module covers a wide variety of practical applications, in a robust way,
45 allowing real engineering applications but also quick experimental methodology
46 setup to be performed. Its methodological and numerical scalability gives way to
47 extend the application domain.
