Project: Traceability for computationally-intensive metrology

Information and Computing Technology (ICT) dominates all aspects of business and much of our daily lives, and plays a large role in many areas of measurement. Traceability, measurement standards and quality systems all demand the demonstration of computational links that are fit for purpose, but testing is difficult without knowing whether software is producing accurate results in the first place. This project will use mathematics, numerical analysis and state of the art computer technology to validate software and develop new technologies to deliver traceability to measurements requiring intensive computing. It will ensure the trustworthiness and fitness for purpose of measurement software and enhance consumer confidence in metrology products. Internet based services will be used to validate software at the point of use and industrial partners, Hexagon, Mitutoyo, Werth and Zeiss, will deliver the new systems to thousands of users, changing the traceability landscape for computation in coordinate metrology.
