In this paper, the first version of the software SEDA (SEDAv1.0), designed to help seismologists statistically analyze earthquake data, is presented. The package consists of a user-friendly Matlab-based interface, which allows the user to easily interact with the application, and a computational core of Fortran codes, to guarantee the maximum speed. The primary factor driving the development of...

A key element to API technologies is the gateway. This is a Server architecture that provides the interface between client requests and the network services. Whilst it is in the interests of simplicity and ease of implementation for the client server interface to be as straightforward as possible, special consideration must be given to the interface to maintain security, integrity, scalability ...

Several Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) applications work in a multi-tiered architecture, where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web applications that need to access e-mail or file servers, including ...

Geospatial clustering is a very important research topic in the field of „Geospatial Knowledge Discovery.‟ Its main purpose is to group similar objects, from large geospatial datasets, into clusters, based on the objects‟ spatial and non-spatial attributes. This capability is very useful for better understanding the patterns and distributions of geographical phenomena. With the emerging availab...

Workflow technology previously developed by the Grid project has been used to automate a number of complex bioinformatics analyses, allowing much larger volumes of data to be produced than would be possible if these analyses were to be performed manually. Grid workflows can be constructed using the Taverna workbench, and the analysis specified by such a workflow can be performed throught the us...

The Open Mathematical Engine Interface (OMEI) aims to establish a uniform application programming interface (API) for heterogeneous mathematical computation engines. A common API such as OMEI can make mathematical engines easily accessible by front-ends, tools, and servers. It also enables the development of individual applications that can serve or utilize different engines. The motivation, ap...

In this Web 2.0 era, the browsers perform ever-richer graphical interfaces. This paper discusses an approach to web applications interface design that employs the semantic web primitives and it is expressive enough to model most common Rich Internet Application functionalities. It proposes an abstract interface description language and a whole software environment that could make it possible to...

User coordinated visualizations are a powerful mechanism for building a visual interface. They allow a user to tailor an interface to their needs by choosing components, allowing visual representations customized to a task or user preferences. Snap-Together Visualization (Snap) is a web based system that allows for the creation and sharing of user customized visual interfaces. Users can bring t...
