Dear GAP Forum: This is to announce the official acceptance of the GAP packages OpenMath (written by Marco Costantini, Alexander Konovalov, Max Nicosia, Andrew Solomon) and SCSCP (written by Alexander Konovalov, Steve Linton), which requires OpenMath. Both packages are licenced under the GPLv2+ license.
The OpenMath GAP package provides an OpenMath phrasebook for GAP. This package allows GAP users to import and export mathematical objects encoded in OpenMath, for the purpose of exchanging them with other applications that are OpenMath enabled. The GAP package SCSCP implements the Symbolic Computation Software Composability Protocol for the GAP system. This protocol specifies an OpenMath-based remote procedure call framework, in which all messages are encoded in OpenMath. Using it, GAP can communicate locally or remotely with any other OpenMath-enabled SCSCP-compliant application, such as another computer algebra system, or another instance of GAP, or even an external Java or C/C++ application. The new versions of SCSCP and OpenMath packages are now included in the merged archive of GAP 4.5 packages and published on the GAP website. Congratulations to the package authors and thank you all for your hard work. - David Joyner (GAP Council editor for these packages) _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
