A data warehouse architecture (DWA) has been developed for the purpose of integrating data from multiple heterogeneous, distributed, and autonomous external data sources (EDSs) as well as for providing means for advanced analysis of integrated data. The major components of this architecture include: an external data source (EDS) layer, and extraction-transformation-loading (ETL) layer, a data w...

The cluster expansion enables fast alloy property computations especially useful for predicting alloy thermodynamics. It expands configurational alloy properties in basis functions called clusters with associated expansion coefficients called effective cluster interactions (ECI) which must be learned. The number of ECI increases when the symmetries of the system are reduced. Therefore, when app...
