... GUIDE'' (Graphical User Interface for a Data Environment) is an interactive IDL widget-based package that enables users to retrieve selected sets of satellite instrument data and perform various types of graphical analyses on them, without writing a specialized program. GUIDE simplifies the task of laying out multiple plots on a page by (1) using a page-editor to define and laying out multiple ``panels'' which contain the ``plot objects'', and (2) integrating data retrieval functions. ...

... Of the files generated, only the ODF summary file is fully compliant with the ODF interface control document. For the other files, only those components required by the ODF and calibration access layers of the XMM SAS are generated. odffix aims to make it possible to run SAS tasks on pseudo-ODFs, not to generate full-blown ODFs. In practice this means that odffix generates files with structures that are a subset of those described in the ODF interface control document. ...

... Critics analyze the design as it progresses. ... In [Fischer et al 1990] , several uses of critic systems are discussed, including supporting learning by offering criticism of solutions and/or methods of problem-solving; providing design environments which communicate with users in their domain language; and developing cooperative problem-solving systems which combine the talents of humans and computers to come up with the best solutions. ... Directors guide the user toward good design choices. ...

... ALMA . ... OOF software . ... Software . ... We present a framework for modelling atmospheric phase errors and their correction by both the fast-switching and water vapour radiometeric techniques. Notable features are simulating three dimensional turbulent volumes instead of flat phase screens, considering three representative configurations of ALMA and parametrisation in terms of phase fluctuations on a 300m baseline, allowing referencing to the site-testing interferometer data. ...

... Unlike clients such as Shout and IceDJ this permits the broadcast of live audio, rather than prerecorded mp3's. LiveIce was developed after the appearance of IceCast to provide the Real Time streaming functionality which makes it a viable solution for broadcasting. It is based on the guts of 2 of my previous works - Mp3Serv, the first mp3 broadcasting system & Mp3Mixer, a toy which allows the user to 'Mix' with mp3 streams. ... LiveIce XMMS sourcecode is available here . ...

The paper presents the 'Neptune-ME' information display system (IDS) as a spaceman console (SC) of the descent module of the 'Soyuz -TMA' piloted transport spaceship, and the integrated console (IC) of manual control loop for module equipment in the Russian segment of the 'Alpha' international space station. ... to control spaceship systems; . ...

... The Mark 5 system is being developed by Haystack Observatory as a Gbps VLBI data system based on magnetic disk technology. Incorporating primarily low-cost PC-based components, it can record data at a rate of up to 1024 Mbps on to an array of inexpensive, removable IDE/ATA disks. ... For higher data-density runs, the choices would be to either, reconnect all 64 tracks from the formatter to the Tape recorder or to the Mark-5 disk recorder, providing 512 and 1024 Mbps data-rates respectively. ...
