Partnership in computational science. Final report

This is a final report on the OPTIMASS project which is a collaborative research effort between researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, and the University of Maryland. This report is organized as follows. Section 1 describes the background for the project. Section 2 discusses their approach which makes use of abstracts as a data reduction method. After an initial definition of the method, they outline the ATree data structure which is the representation that they have developed for handling the abstracts.
