A Definition of STS Accommodations for Attached Payloads

An input to a study conducted to define a set of carrier avionics for supporting large structures experiments attached to the Space Shuttle Orbiter is reported. The "baseline" Orbier interface used in developing the avionics concept for the Space Technology Experiments Platform, STEP, which Langley Research Center has proposed for supporting experiments of this sort is defined. Primarily, flight operations capabilities and considerations and the avionics systems capabilities that are available to a payload as a "mixed cargo" user of the Space Transportation System are addressed. Ground operations for payload integration at Kennedy Space Center, and ground operations for payload support during the mission are also discussed

Comparative and statistical analysis between the CERN conference database and three other bases

This is a comparison between three scientific conference databases and CERN data. High Energy Physics institutes DESY and SLAC databases and the STN-FIZ commercial one's are described and analysed by statistical tables. We plan to work out a co-operation policy especially with DESY for exchange or data import

Free Open Source Software for Business Intelligence

Free Open Source Software (FOSS) has recently grown, becoming a significant part of the IT market. We use the word “FOSS” to refer to software under a license which grants the right to access the source code and use, study, and change the software. We must not confuse FOSS with “non-commercial software”: antonyms of FOSS are “closed” and “proprietary” software. The first purpose of this paper is to maintain an unbiased position. The analysis begins with a general overview of the FOSS world and then moves focus to business intelligence: during the last years, several tools have finally entered the market, becoming actual competitors to proprietary software. Although FOSS still needs to grow, a large number of companies are already deploying or at least testing some FOSS solutions. In addition, the research world has shown interest providing several market surveys and software analyses. After illustrating the selection criteria used, the paper describes the most interesting FOSS tools for each of the following business intelligence subcategories: database management systems (DBMS), data integration tools, analytical tools and business intelligence suites. In addition, the FOSS data mining solutions RapidMiner and KNIME are evaluated and tested on a set of data. Although the two programs are not as widespread as the proprietary data mining tools, they can be considered actual competitors to the proprietary software
