4. Cloud Computing and SaaS – AEC
Why? When?
Examples in AEC context
What is it?
Getting Started
Experiment: Aec material info client
This session comes before we conclude the AEC breakout session.
Quick recap from the morning session. In the morning session, We talked about what cloud computing is, what SaaS is. Jim talked about why SaaS. Gopi talked about more on technical side how to get started and he shared his own experience with Windows Azure and Amazon Web Services (You may add more about Cloud and SaaS here if you want.)
We’ll show our first baby step experiment: Aec Material info client example, Jeremy’s recording comes here
Examples from the AEC products (buzzsaw, green building studio, bluestreak.) some of these overlaps with Jim’s talk.
Reiterating the message – start experimenting, start thinking about it.

AEC material web service
AEC material web site
Gopi created a web service and a web site

8. This is how web services look like

svcutil /t:code /out:AecInfoServiceAsync.cs /config:AecInfoServiceAsync.config /async
 you can generate the proxys and configs using the command line commands:

12. static AecInfoServiceClient _aecSvrClnt = null; // For AEC Database // Initialise cloud service client. // static public void InitialiseServiceClient() { if( null == _aecSvrClnt ) System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(); EndpointAddress a = new EndpointAddress( " ); _aecSvrClnt = new AecInfoServiceClient( binding, a ); }
Here is the implementation of code that instanciate and initializes the server client. Read the code.

13. double cost = _aecSvrClnt
double cost = _aecSvrClnt.GetCostPerUnit( matName, matSpec, matUnit, region ); _aecSvrClnt.UpdateAecMaterialInfo( matName, matSpec, matUnit, region, cost );
Aec info service client has Two methods
The service provides two methods, one for getting cost-per-unit and the other for updating the database. Here are the method signatures:
AEC Service methods:
double GetCostPerUnit(string matName, string spec, string unit, string region);
void UpdateAecMaterialInfo(string matName, string spec, string unit, string region, float cost);
