Embedding R in different types of applications and using different
technologies, even on different operating systems will be discussed.
* Application Architectures: COM/.NET or SOA/Web Services
* Using R on Windows platforms
- COM basics
- COM/VBA (embedding into standard applications)
- .NET/C# (embedding into custom applications)
- data transfer/special values
- graphics in custom applications
- frontend and backend servers
- debugging aids
- R Server pools/RServerManager
* Using R on Linux/MacOS X platforms
- Web Services (SOAP/http)
- Web Service caveats: stateful and stateless servers
- using R remotely from a Windows Application (Web
Services/C#)
- basics for using R locally
* Advanced Windows topics
- "callbacks" from R
- automating standard software (e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint)
Intended audience
* custom application developers
* statisticians/developers searching for background information and
some guidelines on embedding R
* users of standard software (e.g., MS Office) and R
* developers/statisticians already using R/Scilab (D)COM Server
