Fast S-Transform Software Released
The Fast S-Transform (FST) is a new algorithm for solving the S-Transform with significantly reduced time and complexity. Software packages implementing the FST are now available for download at Sourceforge. The FST is currently available for both C and Python.
Developed by Drs. Robb Brown, Richard Frayne, and Louis Lauzon of the University of Calgary, the FST software calculates the S-Transform with O(NlogN) complexity and requires only O(N) storage space. It will transform in less than a second data sets that previously would have required over 3 days.
IEEE Foundation Grants
The IEEE Foundation awards grants to IEEE units and other charitable organizations for innovative projects that further the scientific and educational purposes of IEEE. To be considered for grant funding, your project should have a clearly defined objective and provide support in the focus areas of education, history of technology or applying technology for humanitarian causes. The IEEE Foundation reviews grant applications in two cycles each year. Your Unit, Section or Chapter are welcome to apply for a grant through the IEEE Foundation Web page.
