Welcome to the InPUT wiki!

InPUT stands for Intelligent Parameter Utilization Tool. It is a proposal for

1. simplified experimentation with complex algorithms, and
2. a human and computer readable documentation of computer experiments.

InPUT provides many features, and the ambition is to document them all in this wiki.
