A.2 CLUBS<br />

A.2.1 <strong>Dimensional</strong> Metrology Awareness Club (DMAC)<br />

DMAC is an industry-focused club that has been set up as part of the 1999-2002 NMS<br />

Length Programme. The club is managed by <strong>NPL</strong> on behalf of the DTI and has the<br />

following objectives:<br />

• to provide a focused platform for interaction across all the technical areas covered<br />

by the Length Programme<br />

• to enable members to learn about the latest developments in their own as well as<br />

related areas of dimensional metrology<br />

• to provide a mechanism to encourage and facilitate interaction and exchange of<br />

ideas with other member organisations<br />

• to give members the opportunity to provide input to, and influence the<br />

development of future NMS programmes.<br />

A.2.2 Software Support for Metrology Programme (SSfM)<br />

SSfM is a metrology-focused programme comprising projects designed to meet the<br />

requirements of NMS programmes. The overall aim of the SSfM Programme is to tackle a<br />

wide range of generic issues, some of which are problems in metrology that require the<br />

application of established software engineering practices, whilst others require advances<br />

in mathematics, software engineering or theoretical physics. The programme, thus,<br />

includes work in metrology, mathematics, software and theoretical physics, with strong<br />

links between the various disciplines.<br />

The SSfM Club is aimed at users and suppliers of metrology software, giving them a say in<br />

the direction of the Programme. It is the focal point for the distribution of general<br />

information arising from the Programme.<br />
