Hi, I develop a computer algebra system in Java (JAS) at
http://krum.rz.uni-mannheim.de/jas/ The system has only limited capabilities for linear algebra and its main focus is on general commutative and non commutative algebras. So I would eventually like to use linear algebra algorithms from Apache Commons Math or other libraries with the JAS data types (e.g. polynomials). However, the interoperability is hindered as there must be adaptor classes to implement the respective interfaces and to delegate the computation to the respective implementation. For example see http://krum.rz.uni-mannheim.de/jas/commons-math_adapter.jar http://krum.rz.uni-mannheim.de/jas/jlinalg_adapter.jar As this has obvious disadvantages I propose to design and agree on a common set of interfaces to improve the situation. The interfaces could be hosted at ACM and then used by all interested parties. As there are already some related issues in the ACM Jira issue tracker with respect to the interfaces, for example https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+MATH+AND+%28summary+%7E+FieldElement+OR+description+%7E+FieldElement+OR+comment+%7E+FieldElement%29 it might be the time to work in the proposed direction. As I am not familiar with the ACM solution and conclusion finding and decision making, please make proposals on how we could work together, if you have interests in the same direction. Kind regards Heinz
