Appendix D: Internet Resources
2009
Interval analysis is a rapidly evolving area with an ever-expanding set of applications. Since the subject is inherently computational, it is not surprising that the Internet has played an essential role in its growth. The World Wide Web is replete with information on interval analysis—both theoretical and applied—and the reader is strongly urged to explore as much of this material as may interest him or her. The purpose of this appendix is merely to suggest two starting points. Interval Computations Site The Interval Computations site http://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/ serves as a main hub for the interval analysis community and is strongly recommended. It enumerates various programming languages for interval analysis, provides links to interval and related software packages, and lists homepages of some active interval researchers. Interval Computations originated in 1995 during an international workshop held at El Paso, Texas. According to Vladik Kreinovich, comaintainer of the site, its goal is to disseminate information and facilitate collaboration between researchers both inside and outside the interval community. There are two mirror sites: one at the University of Texas at El Paso and one in Spain. Web Page for This Book The authors will maintain a web page at http ://www.siam.org/books/ot110 Here they will endeavor to offer current links to the computational tools mentioned in the book (such as INTLAB, RANGE, and GlobSol), as well as other resources of interest to the reader.
