Synthetic LISA, developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is a C++/Python package to simulate the LISA science process at the level of scientific and technical requirements. It generates synthetic time series of the LISA fundamental noises, as filtered through all the Time-Delay-Interferometric (TDI) observables; it provides a streamlined module to compute the TDI responses to gravitational w...

We report on the development of the LISA Technology Package (LTP) experiment that will fly onboard the LISA Pathfinder mission of the European Space Agency in 2008. We first summarize the science rationale of the experiment aimed at showing the operational feasibility of the so-called transverse–traceless coordinate frame within the accuracy needed for LISA. 0264-9381/05/100125+14$30.00 © 2005 ...

Many tools can be automatically derived from formal language definitions, such as compilers/interpreters, editors, analyzers, visualizers/animators, etc. Some examples of languagebased tools generated automatically by the LISA system are described in the paper. In addition the specification of an algorithm animator and program visualizer, Alma, generated from an extended LISA input-grammar is d...

The LISA system is an interactive environment for programming language development. From the formal language specifications of a particular programming language LISA produces a language specific environment that includes editors (a language-knowledgable editor and a structured editor), a compiler/interpreter and other graphic tools. The LISA is a set of related tools such as scanner generators,...

LISA 2020: CREATING A NETWORK OF STATISTICAL COLLABORATION LABORATORIES. Eric Vance, Department of Statistics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg VA 24061. To increase the global impact of statistics as a discipline useful for helping researchers answer research questions, and sponsored by a Google Research Award, LISA—The Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistica...
