IDBS Embeds Quantrix Modeling Software as Quantitative Knowledge Engine in Chemical and Biological Research Software; Quantrix's multidimensional modeling is applied to IDBS's life sciences electronic study management software.PORTLAND, Maine Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Maine, with a 2004 population of 63,882. Portland is Maine's cultural, social and economic capital. Tourists are drawn to Portland's historic Old Port district along Portland Harbor, which is at the mouth of the Fore River and part -- Quantrix today announced that IDBS IDBS Intelligent Dial Backup Switch , a provider of integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. solutions to the life sciences industry, has entered into an agreement to use Quantrix Modeler as a component in the development of new software products for scientific analysis and research. Quantrix Modeler is a desktop quantitative modeling software application that goes beyond traditional spreadsheet technology to enable professionals to develop models in greater depth and from multiple perspectives while improving productivity, accuracy, and auditability. The new version of Quantrix Modeler, released in May, incorporates an application programming interface that enables OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and software developers such as IDBS to create software applications using Quantrix Modeler's multidimensional mul·ti·di·men·sion·al adj. Of, relating to, or having several dimensions. mul  ti·di·men modeling capabilities. IDBS researchers are extending and deploying Quantrix Modeler capabilities to enable scientific professionals to analyze data in a multidimensional format. "Our customers manage complex data. Quantrix Modeler provides the analytical capabilities that meet many of our requirements to pivot and examine the data from a lot of different angles, apply structured logic and perform calculations," says Glyn Williams, VP of Marketing and Management, IDBS. "We selected Quantrix Modeler after extensive market review." Quantrix Modeler includes an application programming interface (QAPI QAPI Queue Application Program Interface QAPI Quality Assurance Performance Improvement QAPI Quality Assurance Program Inspection QAPI Queue Api ) that allows end users to extend the functionality of the product. The latest release, Quantrix Modeler version 2.1, incorporates an extended version of this API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. for OEM developers. "Solution developers such as IDBS can enhance their applications by embedding 1. (mathematics) embedding - One instance of some mathematical object contained with in another instance, e.g. a group which is a subgroup. 2. (theory) embedding - (domain theory) A complete partial order F in [X -> Y] is an embedding if our analytical modeling technology, and their end users can access all of the functionality of Quantrix Modeler seamlessly within these applications," says Peter Murray Peter Murray is the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor and Edward R. Johnston Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School. He is an authority in the fields of evidence, comparative law, trial advocacy, comparative civil procedure, and admiralty law. Murray graduated from Harvard Law School (LL. , Chief Technical Officer, Quantrix. IDBS is using the Quantrix API (QAPI) to embed Quantrix Modeler in its applications for chemical and biological research. IDBS's software, data management, and scientific analysis experience in combination with Quantrix Modeler's multidimensional and quantitative modeling capabilities, provides researchers with unique ways to manage the entire life cycle of a complex experiment. "Quantrix is the engine used to analyze the data that researchers get from instruments and observations," says Williams, "Quantrix Modeler allows users to view and represent data from many different perspectives, quickly and easily." Quantrix Modeler incorporates a unique approach that separates the logic of a model from the structure, which allows users to create and use formulas outside the confines of the cell. Formulas are expressed in words rather than by cell coordinates so they are easy to understand, trace, and audit. Users can make changes, incorporate new dimensions, and view multiple scenarios dynamically without redesigning or reworking their model. Quantrix API (QAPI) allows third-party developers  It has been suggested that First-party developer, Second-party developer be merged into this article or section. to embed Quantrix into their software applications.
