Free importance of materials science engineering software for linux

Software Engineering Environment (SEE) is frame for manufacturing information. It is implemented in sevlet and xml, and is used by the web-browser.
Software Engineering Environment (SEE) attempts to provide the information manufacturing platform for software development.
SEE is a free project, that is the author will provide all of its source code at the same time.
It runs in any servlet environment (The author merely verified in the Win and Linux environment), not using any special technique and needs no auxiliary program.
All of its data are saved in XML files, and need not database. (The future release will support the option of saving data, so that the user can select some free database, such as mysql, or commercial database to improve SEE speed.)
This means that the user can run SEE without any money. (Tomcat is a free servlet environment.)
User uses all SEE functions with the web-browser. So information sharing is very convenient.
SEE supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English now.( It will support any language if someone will translate.) User can switch to interfaces in different language at any time when SEE is running. And user can add language translations which will work at once.
The main body of SEE is a frame for information manufacturing. All information included in it can be costumed dynamically and all changes will get into effect immediately. This means that the user can modify or add her/his own information structure as will at any time.
SEE provides various predefined selections for information attributes, which correspond various predefined information manufacturing patterns. The user can focus on the information description when costuming information definition, and the system will implement the functions automatically. This is the core of SEE. Most functions of SEE are in this model.
The default information definition of SEE is the result that the author understands what is the Software Engineering.
Although the target of SEE is helping for software development, actually, user can use it to design any type information, such as book registering, personnel lists, and financial reports etc.
The speed of SEE is not bad. Reading and writing 20000 records needs no more than 1 second. At present, the sorting speed is 9 seconds for 5000 records. (The testing platform is 1.8G CPU and 256M memory)
Enhancements:
- The data interface to prepare supporting databases.
- The databases are not supported in this release.
- A new interface style "Beautiful Flowers".
- These flowers are photoed in parks in this year by the author.
- The author likes the honeybee who holds a flower in its mouth very much. It is the first cartoon figure by the author. It will appear when you save wrong data. :)
- The function of "Personal Message".
- User can only query the messages sent by and sent to herself/himself. And user can only remove the messages sent to herself/himself.
- After a user read a message sent to her/him, SEE will mark it as "have_read" automatically.
- The number of new arrived messages will be shown in the interface.
- The data privileges management
- When user "Remove All" or "Modify All", the "base conditions" will be checked at first. That is user can only do what she/he can do.
- The Password fields values can not be visited, except when the user, who owns the "Import" privilege to current data, exports the data.
- All the data structures of ACL tables are changed! Their keywords become the "Title". This will permit user define better ACL.
- And the "condition" in the ACL tables are implemented completely. Now any "SEE conditions" is valid.
- Snapshot for image file
- When list the data, a snapshot will be shown for the image files type, which may end with jpg/jpeg/gif/png.
- Data sorting concerned with langauges.
- Thus when sorting data in Chinese, the result is Chinese result.
- General users can not visit the "User" table! Then they can not fill in many data!
- This is a fatal bug! This means all former releases can not be used actually!
- Now all ACL tables are redesigned.
- When a new user is added without password, SEE will add some password itself! Then this new user can never login!
- This is another fatal bug!
- In the last English release, which is 0.06, the ACL data are in Chinese!
- So the English users can not use SEE at all~~
- This is still a fatal bug!
- The "Risk Items" in the table "Deviation Handling" is wrong defined.
- This will cause an error information when user clicks the "Select" button.
- The values of Password fields can be visited when query or export.
- Although the values are meaningless encoded codes, they are still security thread.
- When some quota marks in the key values, pages will report errors and the function buttons, such as Modify and Remove, can not act!
- This is because quota is also an element of web page.
- When the interface language changes, the language in audit records changes too!
- This is not permitted. Language of all data is determined when SEE is installed and can not change with interface!

American Political Science: Campaign Simulator project is a statistically based political campaign simulation game.
The Campaign Simulator is an attempt to statistically model and predict the outcome of an American presidential election.
Several users assume the roles of competitive candidates and inflict the repercussions of certain decisions on a GSS-based dataset.
The application is written in Java and supports all operating systems with a Java 1.5 VM.
Main features:
- Time is not the only limiting variable. In fact, time may not be the proper limit as most operations may be performed in tandem; an economic system that allows fund raising elements should be implemented.
- The current choices all utilize the same dataset algorithm to effect the populace in similar ways- this set of scripts should be broadened and deepened as they are too high level.
- The Python Architecture needs polishing- the internal IDE is not complete, and the ability to assign scripts to run at differing points in the lifetime of the application has yet to be created.
- The installer should place links on the desktops of Mac and Unix/Linux Systems.
- Some of the small features planned, such as a GUI for dialog creation, have been cut for the deadline and should be added.

Contact Conductance Estimator (CoCoE) is a program that estimates the conductance (or resistance) between two surfaces in contact.
It is meant to be used by designers and analysts of physical systems where heat transfer by means of contact is of importance.
CoCoE is written in Perl, and uses a self-contained SQLite database and Tk for the user interface.
Enhancements:
- Many new entries in the database.
- Many fixes to existing entries in the database (correlations are now much more accurate).
- The CoCoE window now has a status bar that displays help messages.
- CoCoE will now ask for contact pressure input method (Direct or via Load and Area) instead of the older way.
- It is now possible to input as many contact pressures as wanted, instead of having to start over every time you want to try a new value.

Main features:
- Exchange account setup
- Fetch emails
- Send emails
- Delete emails
- Fetch and send attachments
- Handle Message flags (attachments and importance)
- Display light mailbox folder hierarchy
Enhancements:
- This experimental release provides exchange account setup using the Evolution account wizard.
- It can fetch, send, and delete email messages with or without attachments. Message flags (attachment, importance, read/unread) are supported.
- A light mailbox folder hierarchy is provided.

Revealicious project is a set of graphic visualizations for your del.icio.us account.

Revealicious is a set of three interactive visualizations to browse the tags and posts from your del.icio.us account.

It is an experimental project that tries to demonstrate the importance of interactive graphical representations when it comes to understanding a set of information.

The visualizations are implemented in ActionScript 2.0 and use an MTASC port of Ladislav Zigos Tweening Prototypes, included with the source code.

All applets are in the Sources directory, where you only have to type "make" in
the subdirectories to compile a fresh version of the applets (but this is not
needed, as they are already compiled).

There is a "bookmark.xml" file, which is the one used in the demo. You can
replace it with your own by using CURL:

curl --user LOGIN:PASSWORD -o bookmarks.xml
-O http://del.icio.us/api/posts/all

This will retrieve all your posts from del.icio.us.

Caml is a general-purpose programming language, designed with program safety and reliability in mind. It is very expressive, yet easy to learn and use. Caml supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles.

It has been developed and distributed by INRIA, Frances national research institute for computer science, since 1985.

The Objective Caml system is the main implementation of the Caml language. It features a powerful module system and a full-fledged object-oriented layer.

It comes with a native-code compiler that supports numerous architectures, for high performance; a bytecode compiler, for increased portability; and an interactive loop, for experimentation and rapid development.

Xholon runtime framework executes applications that are event-driven or that have highly dynamic structure or behavior. Specify your models using XML and Java, or using third-party UML2 tools and MDA transformations.
To get started, read or actively work through the basic HelloWorld tutorial. Its a very simple application, but it demonstrates many of the main concepts.
For more detail on the concepts behind Xholon, you might want to read one of the papers thats been published. These describe how to model cells and other complex biological entities using tools designed for developing real-time and embedded systems.
This earlier work used Rational Rose RealTime and C++, rather than the current Java. Xholon is intended to be a runtime framework that can execute the same types of systems described in those papers, plus many more traditional non-biological event-driven systems.
The goal of the Cellontro sister project is to develop complex biological simulations using the Xholon framework. Most of the features described in the published papers have been re-implemented as Cellontro applications using Xholon.
Also have a look at the sample applications that are included with the Xholon software. These give an idea of the range of applications that can be supported by the Xholon runtime framework.
These have been employed as use cases to determine what functionality is most important in Xholon. The digital watch simulation is a good example of a Xholon application with a hierarchical state machine, developed using a UML modeling tool.
A Xholon is essentially a holon. A holon is an entity that lives within a hierarchical structure, and is both a whole and a part at the same time.
In mainstream computer science terms, a Xholon is a node in a tree. The node has a single parent, possibly one or more children, and possibly one or more siblings. A Xholon may also be an active agent able to interact in real-time with other Xholons in the tree.
In UML2 terminology, a Xholon is a structured classifier that may exist as a part within other structured classifiers, and that may in turn contain other structured classifiers as parts of itself. The result is a hierarchical containment structure, nested to an arbitrary number of levels.
As a part, a Xholon plays a specific role within another structured classifier. Xholons are UML classes that are subsequently refined using UML2 composite structure diagrams. Structured classifiers interact with each other through ports, by passing messages or by making function calls.
Using the more philosophical terminology used to describe holons, a Xholon is something that is simultaneously both a whole and a part. Since everything in the universe is a holon, then everything running within a computer application should be a Xholon. The term holon was invented by Arthur Koestler in 1967.
The Xholon Project is inspired by biological concepts. A major incentive behind the project is to build a run-time environment that is equally adapted to running simulations of biological systems, and to running more traditional real-time, embedded and other event-driven reactive systems.
Xholon applications may contain structures that are highly mutable. A Xholon is an active agent that can modify the tree structure in which it lives. It can navigate the tree to interact with any other node, it can add, delete or modify other nodes, it can exchange messages with other nodes, and it can move itself to another position within the tree.
The Xholon Project incorporates many concepts of the Real-time Object-Oriented Modeling (ROOM) methodology, much of which has been incorporated into UML2. At the same time, Xholon removes some of the limitations of ROOM to allow for greater flexibility, mutability and mobility of active objects.
The Xholon run-time can serve as a target for a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformation pipeline. MDA stresses the importance of models, and the ability to transform those models, through a series of steps, into an executing target system.
You can create your model using a UML tool such as Gentlewares Poseidon or NoMagics MagicDraw, save the model as an XMI file, transform it using XSLT (or by some other MDA means) into a Xholon model and application, and then execute the model.
Enhancements:
- UML state machine simulation capabilities have been extended, including animation, and fork, join, junction.
- Additional Agent-Based Modeling functionality is available.
- The NetLogo-like syntax has been enhanced.
- The architecture is more flexible and is ready to more fully support integration of multiple domains.
- Histograms and probability distributions are now available. Line charts update in real-time.
- Numerous other modeling, simulation, transformation, and execution features have been added.
