Hello -

I am Tim Mattson of Strand Software Technologies Inc.  My 
"purpose in life", is to help Strand's application base to grow.
To this end, I am involved in two related research projects.

The first project demonstrates the utility of Strand for the large 
signal processing applications common in the oil industry.  We 
currently have much of the infrastructure in place for basic 
seismic data manipulation.  The next step is to use this structure 
as a platform for Strand application research.  We are currently 
implementing multidimension FFT and Normal Moveout 
correction/stacking algorithms.

The second project is more general.  I am interested in building
a library of Mathematics routines in Strand.  This is actually
an extension of my seismic signal processing work.  I am 
beginning by implementing some of the LAPACK routines.  The
key is to view the routines as members of a library - not
as isolated entities.  Therefore, I require each routine to
start and finish with distributed data strucutures.  

I am seeking collaborators within the Strand community to
get involved with this work.  The goal is to learn about
Strand by implementing existing algorithms and to extend
our knowlege of mathematical programming by developing
new ones.  

Please contact me directly if you are interested in getting
involved or have any comments about this work.  I am particularly
interested in hearing of any other projects of this sort that
may be going on. 

Thank you.
