Glotaran: A Java-Based Graphical User Interface for the R Package TIMP
Glotaran is a Glotaran is a free software program developed for global and target analysis of time-resolved spectroscopy and microscopy data.
A publication about Glotaran, with the title "Glotaran: a Java-based graphical user interface for the R-package TIMP" has been published in the Journal of Statistical Software, on July 1st 2012 and can be found here: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v49/i03/
Glotaran is open-source software and therefore free to download and free to use. If you use the software for any scientific publication we do however request that you cite our JSS publication (see below). Also, if you use Glotaran in any way - in research, industry or education - we are always happy to hear how!
Download and Install Glotaran on your computer.

The 1.0.0 version of Glotaran was released more than 13 years ago, and the creators of Glotaran think it's time for a change. For the past few years they have been working on a successor for Glotaran, re-written from the ground up in Python, called pyglotaran. Please check it out!
Current version is 1.5.2-SNAPSHOT
GPL v2 or later
In conclusion, I find Glotaran to be a highly useful and capable addition to my analysis toolbox. The authors of the program are very helpful and communicative, and I have no doubt that Glotaran will continue to gain in features and ease-of-use. If, after reading this review, you have the slightest hunch that it could useful for you, download it and give it a go. I doubt you will be disappointed.
A Python library for Global and Target Analysis of time-resolved spectroscopy data
TIMP is an R package for fitting superposition models that implements the partitioned variable projection algorithm. The package has been extensively applied to modeling spectroscopy and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) datasets. It serves as the backend for the Glotaran software.
