Date: Sat, 24 Jul 1999 18:56:58 PDT From: Feng Zhao zhao@parc.xerox.com Subject: Availability of data analysis software: SAL 1.2 We are pleased to announce the release of SAL 1.2, a software tool for prototyping data analysis applications. SAL is based on the Spatial Aggregation theory and algorithms developed by researchers at Ohio State University, MIT, and Xerox PARC. The SAL tool comprises a C++ library supplying commonly used data types and operators for data intensive modeling and abstraction, and an interpreter providing a MATLAB-like interactive interface to facilitate rapid prototyping of application programs using the SAL library. It can be either run as a standalone tool or integrated into an existing application with a C++ interface. The SAL release also includes a HTML documentation and small sample programs written in SAL that illustrate what it takes to write code using SAL. For larger-scale applications, SAL has been used to analyze weather datasets and to model spatio-temporal structures from diffusion-reaction phenomena. It was also used by students at Stanford University (CS329) and Ohio State University (CIS788) as a software prototyping environment for class projects.
