Title :
Improved Tracking Codes:present and Future
Author :
Servranckx, Roger V.
Abstract :
The paper identifies conditions which tracking codes should meet. The constraints come from mathematics, physics, computer environment and user requirements. There is no intention to do an exhaustive study of existing codes. Only single particle tracking codes are considered. When many particles are followed they have no interaction with each other. The paper ends with comments on present efforts to meet some of the conditions identified.
