DISCOVERY is the design tool for searching the hidden correlations between the inorganic substance properties (e.g. structure prototype or enthalpy of formation) and the atomic property parameters of the constituent chemical elements (e.g. atomic number or electronegativity). This is the Windows-only program written in the Microsoft Foundation Classes (Visual C++). All Windows versions are supported.
The program consists of two parts: the user interface and the calculation program QSD, which performs the actual analysis of the data. The user interface manages the results of QSD and displays them. This part of the program was developed by Dr. Brandenburg. Its source codes are available in this repository. The program QSD was developed by Dr. Michael Berndt. Its source codes have been unfortunately lost.
