This article is the write up of a presentation made at the 5 International LISA Symposium. It reviews some of the more topical results of a study into the LISA phase measurement system. This system is responsible for measuring the phase of the heterodyne signal caused by the interference of the laser beams between the local and far spacecraft.

This note provides some guidelines on preparing a paper for submission to the Eigtheenth International Conference on Software Engineering, which will be held in Berlin, Germany from March 25 to March 30, 1996.

A set of Maplev R.3 software routines, for plotting 2D/3D projections of Poincar e surfaces-of-section of Hamiltonian dynamical systems, is presented. The package consists of a plotting-command plus a set of facility-commands for a quick setup of the Hamilton equations of motion, initial conditions for numerical experiments, and for the zooming of plots. Memory required to execute with typical ...
