SDaMS Studio

Scalable Databases and Modelbases Systems for materials intelligent design

Introduction:

SDaMS is an integrated software platform developed by MICID group at Beihang University since 2022. It is dedicated to integrate the materials database & analysis, data mining & machine learning, modelbase & knowledge discovery, and aitificial intelligence. The platform provides simple graphical user interface to database. It supports fast for both local and remote database construction and editing based on SQLite and MySQL, as well as the construction and application of robust physical and mathematic models through various machine learning algorithms. It provides users with an integrated workflow platform, including database construction, data analysis, machine learning model construction, and visual editing. Additionally, the research team has collected and built a series of databases and modelbases to complement the use of SDaMS.

Database Editing

SDaMS provides a simple and convenient database editing tool. It can automatically generate local or remote databases based on UI files created by users. In terms of data import, it not only offers visual editing of data entries but also supports batch import or modification of large amounts of data through JSON or Excel files. It even enables seamless integration with SPaMD software to import calculation results with just a click. SDaMS simplifies the process of database editing, providing users with an efficient and user-friendly solution.

Data Analysis

SDaMS provides a convenient and user-friendly big data analysis platform, which includes features such as multi-criteria data retrieval, specified data export, scatter plots, line charts, pie charts, and other common data statistics. Additionally, it encompasses commonly used analysis methods in materials science, such as automatic analysis of crystal symmetry. With SDaMS, users can easily perform various data analysis tasks, enabling efficient exploration and visualization of data in a range of scientific disciplines.

Modelbase Building

SDaMS provides various descriptor methods, data mining methods and machine learning modeling methods, allowing seamless integration with databases for convenient and efficient model construction. SDaMS support the integration of various surrogated models including physical models and mathematic models.

Intelligent Design

Additionally, SDaMS comes with a diverse range of built-in databases, including [specific databases, such as Superhard materials, Biocompitable materials, Low-dimensional materials; ICSD-derived prototypes, PCD-derived prototypes, ASM-derived prototypes, which further enhance its capabilities. Furthermore, SDaMS incorporates a model library developed by our research group, offering a convenient and efficient means of estimating material properties to guide material development efforts.
