Hi Tony, thank you for your comments. I tried to respond to them below: I agree that for the sake of conde...

Credibility points: - Reproducibility - Publicly available Test Suite - Documentation with examples - Good service indicated by Responsiveness of developers - Improvement with versions - Open error reporting - The system is blind tested - The system is competitive compared to other systems - Tracea...

1. Under the Clinical urgency slide please consider adding the following bullet Current computing technology can now replace many human tasks and decisions.

You initially ask about a “computational system.” I think there has been a one-of-a-kind super computer that has accomplished some complex analyses a...
