SUBJECT edu/math/HotGAMS - Guide to Avail. Math Software URL http://math.nist.gov/HotGAMS/ (Applet) DESCRIPTION HotGAMS, a Java powered client of the NIST Guide to Available Mathematical Software (GAMS) server, is now available for public use on the Internet on an experimental basis. The Guide to Available Mathematical Software is an on-line cross-index of mathematical and statistical software in use at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Nearly 10,000 problem-solving modules from some 100 software packages are indexed, including a large subset of the netlib collection. The primary indexing mechanism is a tree-structured taxonomy of mathematical and statistical problems. The system is also a virtual repository, providing redistribution of abstracts, documentation, and source of much of the software that it catalogs. HotGAMS allows interactive exploration of the problem taxonomy, various search operations, and enhanced filtering or `refinement' of search results compared to its predecessors. A current research interest is in how to reduce a large number of apparently appropriate software modules to a few truly relevant ones. HotGAMS begins to address this need and will serve as a testbed for future improvements. AUTHOR Bruce R.
