Computer programming is an important component of statistics research and data analysis. This skill is necessary for using sophisticated statistical packages as well as for writing custom software for data analysis. Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) provides an intelligent and consistent interface between the user and software. ESS interfaces with SAS, S-PLUS, R, and other statistics packages under...

Nowadays, many people worldwide suffer from brain disorders, and their health is in danger. So far, numerous methods have been proposed for the diagnosis of Schizophrenia (SZ) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), among which functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) modalities are known as a popular method physicians. This paper presents an SZ ADHD intelligent detection resting-s...

There has been substantial growth in Data Linkage (DL) activities in recent years. This reflects growth in both the demand for, and the supply of, linked or linkable data. Increased utilisation of DL "services" has brought with it increased need for impartial information about the suitability and performance capabilities of DL software programs and packages. Although evaluations of DL software ...

We present an overview of noncommercial software tools for the solution of mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs). We first review solution methodologies for MILPs and then present an overview of the available software, including detailed descriptions of eight software packages available under open-source or other noncommercial licenses. Each package is categorized as a black-box solver, a calla...

We present three examples of the composition of Computer Algebra Systems to illustrate the progress on a composability infrastructure as part of the SCIEnce (Symbolic Computation Infrastructure for Europe) project. One of the major results of the project so far is an OpenMath based protocol called SCSCP (Symbolic Computation Software Composability Protocol). SCSCP enables the various software p...

We present an implementation of an Online Exhibition System (OES) web service(s) that reflects our experiences with using web service development packages and software process models. The system provides major functionality that exists in similar packages. While developing such a complex web service, we gained insightful experience (i) in the traditional software development processes: waterfal...

Two window-based new digital signal processing (DSP) software packages, namely, DigiFilter and DSPlus are used as teaching tools at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), DSP laboratory in conjunction with DSK31 of TI. First, DigiFilter is a digital filter design and processing software. The uniqueness of this package is that it is not only design digital filters, but also supports DS...

CORAL and COOL are two software packages used by the LHC experiments for managing detector conditions and other types of data using relational database technologies. They have been developed and maintained within the LCG Persistency Framework, a common project of the CERN IT department with ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. This presentation reports on the status of CORAL and COOL at the time of CHEP2013, c...

OBJECTIVE To determine how two software packages, supplied by Siemens and Hermes, for processing gated blood pool (GBP) studies should be used in our department and whether the use of different cameras for the acquisition of raw data influences the results. METHODS The study had two components. For the first component, 200 studies were acquired on a General Electric (GE) camera and processed ...
