Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method for providing network based optimization tools. The method may be implemented in a system having a user system connected to a host system by a network and a transfer function database accessible by the host system. The method includes presenting the user system with an application setup screen including application fields having predefined application parameters. The user system is presented with at least one transfer function descriptor in response to user-selected predefined application parameters. The user system is presented with a factor and a response in response to a user-selected transfer function. The responses are recalculated in response to the user system altering a value associated with a factor or a response.
