Sometimes the minimum time is even greater. For example, letter about an article that appers in a January issue will almost never appears before the following fall. The publication schedule alone dictates such a spread of time. and other factors can intervene to further delay publication of a letter.

It allows students and professionals to acquire the fundamental tools needed to design intelligent, cost-effective, and appropriate solutions to file structure problems. The book begins by presenting the software and hardware characteristics that combine to make file structure design important to application development. It continues with a thorough treatment of the tools that support effective use of files for storing and retrieving information. This book teaches design by putting the hands-on work of constructing and running programs at the center of the learning process. By following the many programming examples included in the book and in the exercise sets, readers will gain a significant understanding of object-oriented techniques and will see how C++ can be an effective software development tool.

We give an overview of our Image Data Browser, a generalized tool under development through a collaboration with the NCSA/NASA Project Horizon in support of access to earth and space science data. Emphasis has been placed on a design that can support a variety of data formats and applications both within and outside of astronomy. ADIL will use this tool in a variety of guises to browse and download images from the Library's collection. We see such a tool filling an important niche as a pipeline from a data repository to specialized, native data analysis software (e.g., IRAF, AIPS).

In the absence of a Java (TM) implementation of the HDF library, Java applications that need to directly access data in HDF files require a Java interface to the native code HDF library. This document describes the design of the Java interface for the HDF library and one prototype application – the Java HDF Viewer (JHV). Performance issues discussed in this paper appear to be inevitable consequences of the technologies that provide the portability and security of Java. The performance penalties are not significant for many applications, but become very significant for data-intensive computing. Just-in-time compiler technology will probably have little impact on the data copying and memory management issues described in this paper. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

NRAO, LOFAR and VAO have joined forces with The HDF Group to write an NSF grant, requesting funding to assist in the effort. This paper briefly summarizes our motivation for the proposed project, an outline of the project itself, and some of the material discussed at the ADASS Birds of a Feather (BoF) discussion. Topics of discussion included: community experiences with HDF5 and other file formats; toolsets which exist and/or can be adapted for HDF5; a call for development towards visualizing large (> 1 TB) image cubes; and, general lessons learned from working with large and complex data.

The NCSA HDF group encourages applications to use HDF5 for better performance and maintenance. See extend abstract P2.42 for more information about HDF5. In summary, HDF5 has the following features that make its use attractive for many important atmospheric science applications. 1) Flexible data model 2) Open-source, free software 3) Portability 4) Emphasis on performance • MPIIO support • Improved sub-setting • In-memory compression • Alternative storage models
