open sTeam project is an environment for cooperative knowledge management.

sTeam provides a technical platform which allows groups of students, lecturers, and any other groups to construct and arrange their individual and cooperative learning and working space.

It consists of an object-oriented server connected to a database, and Web, Java, and other (FTP, SMTP, IRC, etc.) clients.

The server is event-driven and manages all user objects as well as the communication between the connected clients.

Features that were different from most other cooperation tools is the self-organisation and self-administration by the members within the virtual environment.

Open Simp-X provides a scalable Internet management platform.

Open Simp-X is a powerful Internet platform for everyone, attempting to change programming for the Internet with sharing database information. It strives for scalablility, reliability, and ease of use.

The platform consists of a client/server pair. Security is a top priority, and data transfers are encrypted. Open Simp-X achieves scalability through plugins.

Plugins can collect information, manipulate it, and send it back to the database. Writing plugins is easy since they do not have to worry about how to send or receive their information, and can focus on manipulating it.

Open Simp-X can be set up to retreive data through a LAN or through a Web server.

Open BEAGLE is a C++ Evolutionary Computation (EC) framework. It provides an high-level software environment to do any kind of EC, with support for tree-based genetic programming, bit string and real-valued genetic algorithms, and evolution strategy.
The Open BEAGLE architecture follows strong principles of object oriented programming, where abstractions are represented by loosely coupled objects and where it is common and easy to reuse code.
Open BEAGLE is designed to provide an EC environment that is generic, user friendly, portable, efficient, robust, elegant and free.
With Open BEAGLE, the user can execute any kind of EC, as far as it fulfills some minimum requirements. The only necessary condition is to have a population of individuals to which a sequence of evolving operations is iteratively applied.
So far, Open BEAGLE supports most mainstream EC flavors such genetic programming, bit string and real-values genetic algorithms, and evolution strategy. It also includes support for advanced EC techniques such multiobjective optimization and co-evolution.
The user can take any of these specialized frameworks and modify them further to create his own specialized flavor of evolutionary algorithms.
Main features:
User Friendliness
- Considerable efforts were deployed to make the use of Open BEAGLE as easy and pleasant as possible. Open BEAGLE possesses several mechanisms that offer a user friendly programming interface. For example, the memory management of dynamically allocated objects is greatly simplified by the use of reference counting and automatic garbage collection. The programming style promoted is high-level and allows rapid prototyping of applications.
Portability
- The Open BEAGLE code is compliant with the C++ ANSI/ISO 3 standard. It requires the Standard Template Library (STL). No specific call in the core libraries are made to the operating system nor to the hardware.
Efficiency
- To insure efficient execution, particular attention was given to optimization of critical code sections. Detailed execution profiles of these sections were done. Also, the fact that Open BEAGLE is written in C++ contributes to its overall good performance.
Robustness
- Many verification and validation statements are embedded into the code to ensure correct operation and to inform the user when there is a problem. Robust mechanisms for periodically saving the current evolution state have also been implemented in order to enable automatic restart of interrupted evolutions.
Elegance
- The interface of Open BEAGLE was developed with care. Great energy was invested in designing a coherent software package that follows good OO and generic programming principles. Moreover, strict programming rules were enforced to make the C++ code easy to read, understand and, eventually, modify. The use of XML as file format is also a central aspect of Open BEAGLE, which provide a common ground for tools development to analyze and generate files, and to integrate the framework with other systems.
Free Sourceness
- The source code of Open BEAGLE is free, available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Thus, it can be distributed and modified without any fee. (See section copyright for further details.
Enhancements:
- Several fixes to allow compilation on Mac OS X
- Fixes in headers inclusion to allow precompiled headers

Open Source in Tab is an extension which opens the pages source file in a new tab.

Opens the pages source file in a new tab. Has a preference to either open source in a new tab or existing tab.

Open Metaheuristic (oMetah) is a library aimed at the conception of metaheuristics (i.e. genetic/evolutionnary algorithms, tabu search, simulated annealing, ant colony algorithms, etc.). Open Metaheuristic library follows the "adaptive learning search" approach in the design of metaheuristics (an approach inspired from the "adaptive memory programming").
The oMetah core code design is separated in three components : algorithms, problem and communication. You can easily add your own metaheuristic and test it on the implemented problems, or add your own problem, and use the implemented metaheuristics to solve it.
You also have the choice of the way the algorithm and the problem are linked (static link, network, webservice, etc.).
It is mainly designed to handle continuous or mixed-integer problems, often met in engineering applications.
oMetah is written in C++, using the Standard Template Library.
Enhancements:
- The Python and network communication protocols between metaheuristics and problems are now usable.

Open Blue Lab is an enterprise resource planning system.
Whatever your goal is, the objective of this tool is to provide you the ready-to use stuff to create, update, search and view data you need for your application.
Moreover, this stuff is provided with the latest UI goodies like AJAX support that will ensure you the best feeling you never had in browsing.
Like OpenBlueLab.org project is portal aware, that means you have aggregation and personalization too.
That way, you can focus on your added value : the business logic and requirements your customer needs.
