We describe the model reduction software developed recently for the control and systems library SLICOT. Besides a powerful collection of Fortran 77 routines implementing the last algorithmic developments for several well-known balancing related methods, we also describe model reduction tools developed to facilitate the usage of SLICOT routines in user friendly environments like Matlab or Scilab...

Massively parallel processors introduces new demands on software systems with respect to performance, scalability, robustness and portability. The increased complexity of the memory systems and the increased range of problem sizes for which a given piece of software is used poses serious challenges for software developers. The Connection Machine Scienti c Software Library, CMSSL, uses several n...

The current status of experimental searches for Bs oscillations is reviewed. The three ALEPH analyses have been improved since Summer 2001, and submitted for publication. The combination of all available analyses is presented and discussed.

This paper briefly describes both organizational and technical issues and approaches involved in creating an operational digital library at the University of Crete, found at http://dlib.libh.uoc.gr. We investigate and describe our approaches and experiences, the last few years, on setting in operation a Digital Library with many collections. We had to analyze the library goals and user needs, t...

The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) is an essential data source for forensic investigators, providing in its Reference Data Set (RDS) a set of hash values of known software. However, the NSRL RDS has not previously been tested against a broad spectrum of real-world data. The current work did this using a corpus of 36 million files on 2337 drives from 21 countries. These experiments a...

reuse research, process, methods, technology, organization, flexible software factory, domainspecific reuse kits Systematic software reuse is a key business strategy that software managers can employ to dramatically improve their software development processes, to decrease time-to-market and costs, and to improve product quality. Effective reuse requires much more than just code and library tec...

This paper addresses semantic data mining, a new data mining paradigm in which ontologies are exploited in the process of data mining and knowledge discovery. This paradigm is introduced together with new semantic subgroup discovery systems SDM-search for enriched gene sets (SEGS) and SDM-Aleph. These systems are made publicly available in the new SDM-Toolkit for semantic data mining. The toolk...

Learning probabilistic logic programming languages is receiving an increasing attention and systems are available for learning the parameters (PRISM, LeProbLog, LFI-ProbLog and EMBLEM) or both the structure and the parameters (SEM-CP-logic and SLIPCASE) of these languages. In this paper we present the algorithm SLIPCOVER for “Structure LearnIng of Probabilistic logic programs by searChing OVER ...

If the role of software libraries is to communicate information about software artefacts between software engineers, it is vital that the information be stored in such a manner as to be readily understandable. The designs of existing software libraries present several cognitive impediments to a software engineer, hindering the understanding of library organisation and content. In this paper, a ...
