E.), but (as we discussed at a CellML meeting earlier this year), almost all the three-letter abbreviations / acronyms are taken, including PCE. A Google search for PCE comes up with:
Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Personal Computing Environments Progressive Consulting Engineers perchloroethylene Personal Consumption Expenditures Path Computation Element PCE Ltd - Specialists in precast concrete and prefabricated systems for the construction industry The PC Engine There is a whole list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCE . Potentially confusing examples are: Partial Chemical Equilibrium Principle of Computation Equivalence Private Character Editor Process Control Engineering Basically, I think PCE has far too many meanings, some of which could potentially be used in the same sorts of papers which might also discuss results from running PCEnv. Given the generic nature of CellML, and the fact that many disciplines in which CellML is used like to invent acronyms and abbreviations, I think we should keep away from three-letter names.
