ACADEMA is a privately held Slovenian engineering software development company, founded in 1992 and based in Ljubljana. The company is oriented to custom made solutions fitted to special purpose, based on: Modeling of Processes, Numerical Analysis, Optimization Methods, Geometric modeling, Topology, Artificial intelligence and Formal logic.
The name of the company is an acronym for Advanced Computer Aided Design Engineering Manufacturing Agency.
In the early 1990s, the company developed software for Civil Engineering, Mechanic of Structures, Computational Fluid Dynamics and CNC Machining, but later on, in the mid 1990s, moved to Geographic Information Systems[1][2][3][4][5] and Geostatistics also. In the late 1990s, web services were developed, based on DHTML, ActiveX and Java. The transition to Internet-based systems affected the customer acquisition especially in the sphere of public utilities, particularly in reducing costs on client-side.
Engineering backgrounds
The above engineering systems are conditioned with the necessary basic knowledge in various fields, therefore the need for interdisciplinary is obvious.
Software engineering backgrounds are based on:
