Feature Articles
Approximately twice per year, at least up until a few years ago, a new set
of feature articles was added to these web pages. These are contributed
articles describing models, projects, or tools of general interest to
the modeling community. The articles may be simple project summaries,
notes about modeling tools, or full-blown publications. I hope you find
them to be interesting.
