1. NISSWEBSWAP GUI. A graphical user interface (GUI) for the NISSWebSwap software is in the final stages of development, and will be released shortly. NISS intern Charlie Liu is the principal developer. The GUI facilitates easy selection of input and output files, choice of the swapping rate and selection of the swapping specification (swapping attribute(s) and optional equality or inequality constraints on other attributes). You will receive an announcement of the release; the software and documentation will be available on the NISS Web site, at
