Who developed the software for CISS? How much development has gone into CISS?
The CISS software is developed as part of the academic Trellis Project in the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta. Despite the minimalism of our software, a considerable amount of software development has been done for CISS-1. Chris Pinchak did most of the implementation, with substantial help from Mark Goldenberg, myself, and others. Overall, we are a small group of developers/researchers. Of course, a considerable effort has gone into the formulation and preparation of the computational chemistry application too. For example, we are using the MOLPRO package (see link at top) and Dr. Wolfgang Jäger’s group has spent a considerable amount of time towards making CISS-1 a success.
