Free enterprise architecture framework software for linux

Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) is a modular computer forensics framework built by the Dutch National Police Agency. The main goal is to automate the digital forensic process to speed up the investigation and give tactical investigators direct access to the seized data through an easy to use search and browse interface.
The architecture forms an environment where existing forensic tools and libraries can be easily plugged into the architecture and can thus be made part of the recursive extraction of data and metadata from digital evidence.
The Open Computer Forensics Architecture aims to be highly modular, robust, fault tolerant, recursive and scalable in order to be usable in large investigations that spawn numerous terabytes of evidence data and covers hundreds of evidence items.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a memory leak in the evidence library and adds a workaround to limit the impact of a memory-hungry indexer module.

Af-Arch is being developed to give GNU/Linux a new middle-ware for building enterprise managing applications, typically database oriented.
Af-Arch is a complete set of libraries and tools which allows to develop distribuited system especially designed to face problems about bussiness applications.
Actually, Af-Arch is really robust and stable, having systems installed on many environments. Af-Arch, at this moment, runs on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows.
AF Architectures license schema is based on GPL and LGPL, allowing you to develop not only open source applications but also comercial applications without any royalty or fee.
Af-Arch is a strongly documented project, which is proved to work. Af-Arch keeps on evolving and growing its feature list allways keeping in mind productivity.
Enhancements:
- A new major stable release have come with many interesting features, library dependencies news, new API to make life easy and a bunch of work to make the library to be memory efficient.
- Af-Arch no longer depends on GDA library (http://www.gnome-db.org). Now AfGs, server side support for Af-Arch, includes built-in database abstraction support, implemented to fit better with the Af-Arch framework. For more details check the "libafgs" log below.
- Af-Arch platform now support three new return types: AfDalNodeData, AfDalStringData and AfDalDecimalData, which allows services to return a module node, a plain string and a decimal value as a result for the invocation.
- Af-Arch now support a new formal parameter service AfDalSetOf which implements set of items to be sent while the service is invoked.
- af-gen tool now support defining string literals that are separated by "+" sign, making it easy to write long SQL sentences.
- af-gen tool now allow to generate type definitions that could extend, making it possible to create a class hierarchy for types to be returned by services.
- libafdal core library now implements a better error reporting mechanism which allows to receive all errors generated while performing invocation at the reply process code.
- New reserved services have been added: element_peek_reference which allows to get the node associated to a module which is relationed through the 0..1 link.

Keystone is a cross-platform, object oriented application framework which allows applications to be written to build on the target platforms of GNU/Linux and Win32 without modification of their source.
Keystone Application Framework implements several modern Web standards, including SVG graphics and the XUL user interface description language.
Enhancements:
- A significant development in this release is the optional use of the GDI+ (Win32) and CairoGraphics (Linux) rendering backends to render SVG content.
- In addition, support for SVG paths has been much improved with the ability to render bezier and elliptical segments.

VIF Lightweight Framework is an object-relational bridge to store and retrieve data in relational database management systems (RDMS). The frameworks building blocks to access data are data object models (DOM objects) and joined data object models (joined DOM objects).

A DOM object is used for read-write access to a database table. VIF Lightweight Framework encapsulates the mapping of the objects attribute to the underlying table fields. A joined DOM object encapsulates SQL SELECT commands of any complexity. With joined DOM objects, its possible to design involved data retrieval.

The Horde Application Framework is written in PHP, and provides the common tools a Web application requires: classes for dealing with preferences, compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more.
The Horde Framework does not provide any significant end user functionality and it provides a base for other applications and tools for developers. You will probably want to install some of the available Horde applications, such as IMP (a webmail client), or Kronolith (a calendar).
Enhancements:
- The Oracle session handler has been rewritten. vTimezone support for iCalendar data and ORG support for vCard data have been added.
- The Samba and Cyrus SQL authentication drivers have been improved.
- Automatic Web root detection and signature dimming have been improved.
- Compatibility of generated ZIP files has been improved.
- Validation of some email distribution lists has been fixed.
- Many small fixes and improvements have been made.
- Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, and Traditional Chinese translations have been updated.

GNU dictionary framework project contains a toolkit for connecting to different dictionaries.
It uses plugins to connect to different dictionaries (stardict, dictd, babylon..).
Enhancements:
- compile with Qt 4.0.1 and add check it require Qt 4.0
- make better directory installation
- tune the qmake file
- support splash screen (linux may have problem)

Joshs Website Framework is a CMS framework for PHP Web developers. Joshs Website Framework consists of various subcomponents you can extract and use individually. SaxInterface provides an OO wrapper for SAX XML parsing.

The Auth Engine provides both level-based permissions (e.g., must be level 100 to access this page) and name-based permissions (e.g., must be in "editor" group to access this page).

Utilities include Mutex and SharedData classes (for interprocess communication), site-wide custom error handling, and the ability to take a site offline for maintenance.

Dwarf Server Framework is a Java technology-based framework for developing network server applications.
The primary goal of Dwarf is to support development of network servers based on the Internet standards. However, its architecture is quite universal and it is not limited to this kind of applications only.
The first available Dwarf-based applications are the Dwarf HTTP Server with Java Servlets and JSP and Dwarf Mail Server with ESMTP/POP3/IMAP4.
Simple design and very concise API together with an extensive documentation makes the learning and consequent work with the framework easy and fast for the development team.
Modular multithreaded architecture as well as efficient implementation guaranties the performance on top. Incorporation of Java 2 Platform Security Architecture and Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) helps to meet todays high security demands.
Dwarf Server Framework, although not an all-purpose universal wheel, offers extending the server functionality by customizing almost all its components:
- multithreaded service development
- support for TCP/UDP based services
- authentication via login modules
- authorization based on subjects
- logging and configuration
Furthemore, it comes with the full documentation, guides and examples, and is free of charge for the binary redistribution.
