Clearinghouse for Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval ( CNIDR ): Promote and Support the implementation and use of networked information discovery and retrieval software applications such as the Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), World Wide Web (WWW), the Internet Gopher, freeWAIS, and archie. Coordinate to Create Consensus among NIDR applications developers to ensure compatibility and interoperability. Disseminate Information about NIDR applications to the network community as well as those active with NIDR applications development.
CLOUDY - Photoionization Simulation code ( CLOUDY ): Cloudy is a large-scale Fortran code designed to simulate physical conditions in a broad range of astronomical plasmas, and predict its resulting spectrum. The Cloudy homepage provides pointers to the code and its documentation, along with related publications and activities.
Computational Science Highlights ( NSF Metacenter ): Computational Science Highlights covers topics at all scales of scientific inquiry. Users have the option to browse the repository's contents or to search for articles by keyword, such as researcher last name or institution. Computational Science Highlights , a prototype system, currently contains articles contributed by the members of the National MetaCenter: the Cornell Theory Center (CTC), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), and San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
Converging Computing Methodologies in Astronomy ( ESF funded project ): Three-year funded project ('scientific network'), by European Science Foundation. Planned:workshops and visits on topics:information retrieval, image processing, artificial vision, emerging computing technologies, computational intelligence, applied to data centres, wide-field surveys, image and bibliographic databases and archives.
Design Research Institute ( DRI )
FITSview FITS image viewers ( FITSview ): The FITSview family of viewers for FITS format astronomical images are available for Microsoft Windows (FITSview), Apple Macintosh (MacFITSview) and Unix/X-Windows (XFITSview) computer systems. These viewers have easy to use graphical controls and will display astronomical images in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format allowing zooming, scrolling, modifying the brightness, contrast and pseudo color and allow determination of celestial positions and the physical brightness units in the image. Both standard World Coordinate System (WCS) and Digitized Sky Survey
Front Range Consortium ( FRC ): The Front Range Consortium (FRC) is a consortium of three institutions: CAPP, NCAR/SCD, NOAA/FSL, all of which are located in Boulder, Colorado. The FRC is committed to the development of high performance scalable computing and its application to Grand Challenge research problems in science and engineering. The FRC is a member institution of the National Consortium for High Performance Computing (NCHPC).
