#Editors will need software that selects the best images not just the ones from the right place at the right time.
With Scoopshot a Helsinki software start-up publishers can send photo assignments to the service s network of 300000-plus mobile users.
But to assure quality editors will need software that automatically selects the best images not just the ones taken in the right place at the right time.

#New software analyses the effect of climate change on buildings from the cloud Large Spanish construction companies have begun to use a simulation software package,
and Technology at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (CIT UPC) have developed the first-ever software to analyse the entire life of a building,
Certain details regarding the technology have been published in the journal Advances in Engineering Software. Even before its commercialization, Spanish construction groups such as Acciona and VIA had used already it in some of their projects.
"Another of the software's most original features is the ability to simulate models to show how global warming may affect construction.
Pau Fonseca indicates that the software consists of a core made up of a motor referred to as SDLPS that enables simulations to be carried out from complete representations of the models using languages such as SDL
Furthermore, the software integrates"key factors such as the price of materials, and their transportation, assembly and disassembly so the construction company can calculate the total cost of the building."

#3-D Printing Software Turns Heart Scans into Surgical Models A new 3-D printing system can transform medical scans of a patient heart into a physical models that help
The new software developed by MIT and the Boston Children Hospital, can correctly identify an individual heart anatomical structures by following the lead of a human expert who interprets a small patch equivalent to just one-ninth of the area of each cross section, according to an MIT press release.
The software results were in agreement with human experts interpreting all 200 cross sections 90 percent of the time.
But the new software from a team led by Danielle Pace, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, managed to create a fairly accurate digital 3-D model of each patient heart in just an hour.
They hope to improve the software accuracy by examining patches that appear in several MRI cross sections.
