The second project is named DAIMS (Data Analysis and Interactive Modeling
System).  The principal investigators are Tom Keffer and Dale Haidvogel.
The other name mentioned in the documentation I have seen is Bruce Eckel.
The documentation I've seen gives the following addresses for Bruce Eckel
and Tom Keffer
