Volume 30, Number 1, March 2009 Ada User Journal 3 Editorial This first issue of Volume 30 marks the beginning of the celebration of the Thirty Years of the Ada User Journal. The longevity of the Journal is a credit to the Journal authors and readers, after all the reason for the Journal’s existence, that have demonstrated during these years their loyalty and interest. Also important, it is a credit to all that volunteered their effort in the preparation, publishing and in the distribution of the Journal. To all of them, I address our appreciation. I am very much pleased that the first article of this issue, kindly provided to us by John Barnes, is an overview of the history of the Ada User Journal during these thirty years. As a special treat, the article presents images of some of the covers of the Journal during its different periods, which are exceptionally published in color in order that our readers can fully appreciate them. I know that the readers will enjoy reading the article as much as I did. As a side note, I would like to point our readers to the online archive of the Journal, available via the website of Ada-Europe, where the latest period in the history of the Ada User Journal can be browsed online. At this time, the online archive provides the full contents of all issues from March 2002 to March 2008, and the table of contents of the last four published issues. Coming back to this issue, it also provides a paper by James Moore and John Benito, with a progress report on the ISO/IEC Technical Report 24772 concerning Programming Language Vulnerabilities, a work being done in the framework of the Vulnerabilities Working Group (WG 23). I take this opportunity to point out that this matter will also be analyzed, obviously with a focus in Ada, in a one day workshop planned to be held in conjunction with the Ada-Europe 2009 conference, this June in Brest, France. The third paper of the issue finalizes the publication of material derived from the Industrial Track of the Ada-Europe 2008 conference. The paper, by Bradley Moore, of General Dynamics, Canada, explores some of the Ada 2005 features and the Distributed Systems Annex to support complex and dynamic networks. The technical part of the issue ends with two interesting Ada Gems, by Matthew Heaney and Quentin Ochem, related to Interfaces. And as usual, the reader will find the rich information of the News and Calendar sections, contributed by Marco Panunzio and Dirk Craeynest, their respective editors.

It usually requires a mathematical model or mathematical Abstraction and decomposition are extremely important representation that has been formulated for the problem. in dealing with large and complex systems. The software implementation often requires Abstraction is the activity of hiding the details and exposing high-performance computing (HPC) to run. only the essential features of a particular system.

  • Plotting Package Evaluation

    Plotting Package Evaluation

    Plotting package evaluation Introduction We would like to evaluate several graphics packages for possible use in the GLAST Standard Analysis Environment. It is hoped that this testing will lead to a recommendation for a plotting package to be adopted for use by the science tools. We will describe the packages we want to test, the tests we want to do to (given the short time and resources for doing this), and then the results of the evaluation. Finally we will discuss the conclusions of our testing and hopefully make a recommendation. According to the draft requirements document for plotting packages the top candidates are: ROOT VTK VisAD JAS PLPLOT There has been some discussion about using some python plotting package: e.g.,Chaco, SciPy, and possibly Biggles (suggested in Computers in Science and Engineering). A desired feature is have is the ability to get the cursor position back from the graphics package. We will look for this desired feature. An additional desired feature would be to have the same graphics package make widgets or have a closely associated widget friend. Widget friends will not be tested here, but will have to studied before agreeing to use it. Package Widget Friend(s) Comments Biggles WxPython Plplot PyQt, Tk, java The Python Qt interface is only experimental at present. ROOT Comes with its own GUI INTEGRAL makes GUIs from ROOT graphics libs. We hear this was a bit of a challenge to do, but much of the work is already done for us. for us. Tests: The testing is to be carried out separately in the Windows and Linux environments.

  • Econometrics with Octave

    Econometrics with Octave

    Econometrics with Octave Dirk Eddelb¨uttel∗ Bank of Montreal, Toronto, Canada. [email protected] November 1999 Summary GNU Octave is an open-source implementation of a (mostly Matlab compatible) high-level language for numerical computations. This review briefly introduces Octave, discusses applications of Octave in an econometric context, and illustrates how to extend Octave with user-supplied C++ code. Several examples are provided. 1 Introduction Econometricians sweat linear algebra. Be it for linear or non-linear problems of estimation or infer- ence, matrix algebra is a natural way of expressing these problems on paper. However, when it comes to writing computer programs to either implement tried and tested econometric procedures, or to research and prototype new routines, programming languages such as C or Fortran are more of a bur- den than an aid. Having to enhance the language by supplying functions for even the most primitive operations adds extra programming effort, introduces new points of failure, and moves the level of abstraction further away from the elegant mathematical expressions. As Eddelb¨uttel(1996) argues, object-oriented programming provides `a step up' from Fortran or C by enabling the programmer to seamlessly add new data types such as matrices, along with operations on these new data types, to the language. But with Moore's Law still being validated by ever and ever faster processors, and, hence, ever increasing computational power, the prime reason for using compiled code, i.e. speed, becomes less relevant. Hence the growing popularity of interpreted programming languages, both, in general, as witnessed by the surge in popularity of the general-purpose programming languages Perl and Python and, in particular, for numerical applications with strong emphasis on matrix calculus where languages such as Gauss, Matlab, Ox, R and Splus, which were reviewed by Cribari-Neto and Jensen (1997), Cribari-Neto (1997) and Cribari-Neto and Zarkos (1999), have become popular.
