Abstract :
An overview of the latest developments in quantitative spectrometry software is presented. New strategies and algorithms introduced are characterized by buzzwords “Physics, no numerology”, “Fuzzy logic” and “Repeated analyses”. With the implementation of these new ideas one arrives at software capabilities that were unreachable before and which are now realized in the GAMMA-W, SODIGAM and ALPS packages.
