Abstract

An extensive tree-structured problem-oriented scheme for classifying mathematical and statistical software is presented. The scheme is a substantially modified version of a scheme proposed by Bolstad, which was based on the widely-used SHARE system. It is an attempt to reflect more accurately the current state of mathematical and statistical software. Our changes resulted from using the Bolstad scheme as the basis for the NBS Guide to Available Mathematical Software (GAMS), which provides NBS scientists information about subprograms in the IMSL, NAG, and PORT libraries, and in dozens of public-domain subprogram packages.
