A multi-user server-based framework for SHAMAN gamma-ray spectrum identification software

We present a framework for a multi-user server-based installation of the SHAMAN gamma-ray spectrum identification software. It allows users to access centrally managed SHAMAN and UNISAMPO software packages in a laboratory-wide multi-workstation environment. The server-based framework allows coordinated management of the software packages themselves as well as analysis parameter sets and analysis results either in a file system-based data vault or in an SQL-database based on the LINSSI gamma-ray spectrometry database definition. Hierarchical management of analysis parameter sets allows full control of the individual analysis runs yet maintaining flexibility when analyzing a variety of sample types. (author)
