Under the above slogan this year's Pharmaceutical Users Software Exchange - PhUSE - took place in the British seaside resort of Brighton from 9th to 12th October 2011. With 400 participants and 130 papers and posters, PhUSE was the main event for the exchange amongst experts in pharmaceutical software applications. HMS supported the PhUSE not only as a sponsor, but also with two papers.
We are glad that our papers have been well received by the PhUSE participants. In the stream "Applications and Software Development" A Modern Software Design Principle Applied To SAS Macro Programming: The Inversion Of Control Concept by Dr. Patrick Warnat was awarded best paper. Dr. Peter Bewerunge received the Best of Stream Award for his paper Calling R Functions from SAS in the stream "Coding Solutions".
