GNU Radio is a collection of software that when combined

where the actual waveforms transmitted and received are
defined by software. What this means is that it turns the
digital modulation schemes used in today's high performance
wireless devices into software problems.

Auctions (added: 16-Sep-2003)

One of the best ways to allocate goods and/or resources is
to sell them using free
market techniques and ideas. An auction is an excellent
method of distributing goods to those who value them most
highly. Auctions, however, are far more
complex than most people realize.

-------------------------------------------------------------------         
Numerically Intensive Java (added: 18-Sep-2003)
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/ninja
Ninja is a collection of Java classes that includes Complex
numbers, truly multidimensional array types, all primitive
Java numeric types, and a BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Sub-
routine package) that operates on objects of each of the
classes. How does it work? Ninja allows portable programs to
be written without development of their own Array, BLAS, and
Complex packages. The Array class's access functions provide
bounds-checking. The BLAS also checks the consistency of its
arguments. Fortran-like sectioning operations are provided
for the different array classes. These sectioning operations
allow sub-arrays to be defined for an array, where the sub-
arrays are of a type defined by one of the Array classes.
