University Statisticians of the Southern Experiment Stations
- University Statisticians of the Southern Experiment Stations
The University Statisticians of the Southern Experiment Stations (USSES) was a coalition of southern Universities formed in the mid 1960s for the purpose of coordinating efforts in the development of statistical software. This coalition was largely motivated by introduction of the IBM System/360, which required the reprogramming of all software developed on previous IBM models.

North Carolina State University played a leading role within the coalition because they had a larger programming staff and were well funded through a grant from the National Institute of Health. [Greenberg, et al. Pages 180-181]
