5 The aim of the ADAO module is **to help using data assimilation or optimization
6 methodology in conjunction with other modules in SALOME**. The ADAO module
7 provides interface to some standard algorithms of data assimilation or
8 optimization, and allows integration of them in a SALOME study. Calculation or
9 simulation modules have to provide one or more specific calling methods in order
10 to ba callable in the SALOME/ADAO framework, and all the SALOME modules can be
11 used throught YACS integration of ADAO.
13 Its main objective is to *facilitate the use of various standard data
14 assimilation or optimization methods*, while remaining easy to use and providing
15 a path to help the implementation. The module covers a wide variety of practical
16 applications in a robust way, allowing real engineering applications but also
17 quick experimental setup to be performed. Its methodological and numerical
18 scalability gives way to extend the application domain.
