Don Ramirez and I collaborated on an algorithm for finding the surface measure of ellipsoids in N-dimensional space (in fact this evaluates a Lauricella F-D type function). The algorithm and its derivation appeared in ACM TOMS 20 (1994), pp. 413-426, 427-435. Click here for the Fortran code
Also the Lauricella F-D is used to compute generalized F-distributions, (Australian & New Zealand J. Stat. 43(2001), 21-31) see  math.CA/9906095 .

Algorithms for computing non-symmetric Jack and associated Hermite polynomials, in the p-basis constructed in Mh. Math. 126(1998) and Comm. Math. Phys. 197(1998), 451-487, are implemented in the Maple V, Release 4 (easily upgradeable to 5)  worksheet .

I participated in the Programme on Macdonald Symmetric Functions, at the  Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University, Spring 2001; and was a plenary lecturer at  the 6th International Symposium on Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions and Applications, in Rome, June 2001.
