ACADEMA is a Slovenian software development company. The name of the company is an acronym for
Advanced Computer Aided Design Engineering Manufacturing Agency.
In the early 90's, the company developed software for Civil Engineering
, Mechanic of Structures
, Computational Fluid Dynamics
and CNC Machining, but later on, in the mid of 90's, moved to Geographic Information Systems and Geostatistics
also. In the late of 90's, web services were developed, based on DHTML, ActiveX
and Java
. Software engineering background is based on: Modeling of Processes, Numerical Analysis
, Optimization Methods
and Geometric Modeling
