Hydrate is a Java tool that provides for fast efficient and error-free transformation of data between three different representations: relational databases, objects in an object-oriented programming language and extended markup language (XML).
Each of these representations has its strengths and weaknesses as shown in the diagram below; but which should you use as a basis for your application design?
Hydrate relaxes some of the pressure on this decision by providing tools for moving data from one representation to another, guided by a master UML class representation of that data.
- You want to lay a domain object model view over an existing database or set of databases. Hydrate gives you the tools to design that model in UML and map your existing data to that model. Once in the object space, you can perform complex manipulations on the objects, calculate results and save information back to a relational cache for searching or reloading, as well as converting the results to XML for sending to downstream systems or transforming to a readable format for display.
- Your project involves taking various data files fed from external systems that you want to pull into an object model on your server before writing the results down to a fully relational database. You can now respond to requests from external systems by rehydrating the data from its relational form and sending it out as XML documents or transforming those documents to a readable format for display.
- You are building a data warehouse in which you have the broad specifications for the model, but want to provide for flexibility and adaptability for future unpredicted requests. Based on a core data model, Hydrate gives you the tools to create you database schema, and write information to it, but more significantly to subsequently lay a completely different object model perhaps aggregating some of the data over the top of that schema to process it in unforeseen ways.
- You need to integrate data from many different data sources in a highly performant manner. SQL permits you to read a huge data set a row at a time and perform running calculations and filtering on that data. But the performance pressures can lead to code that is highly coupled with the database and what do you do if you need to integrate data from elsewhere in order to complete your calculations? Hydrate permits you to operate in the object space and integrate information from other sources on-the-fly.
Main features:
- To integrate legacy and other data schemas over which you have little control. Map data from many different data sources into a single self-consistent in-memory model. Different parts of the same object, as well as different sub-populations of the same object type can be drawn from different data sources, different schemas and even different database architectures.
- Load, populate and connect up multiple object types from a single query. There is no limit to the number of object types that can be loaded from a single query, or to the complexity of the relationships that can be resolved between them. Objects read from a query are automatically merged into objects already in memory.
- Full control over the SQL that runs against the database (if you need it). Any SQL queries simultaneously from multiple JDBC drivers, even using database specific optimizations, as long as they returns a result set.
- Access and manipulate the same data through the rich and powerful XML toolset. Use the same meta data that describes your objects to easily read from, write to and validate any consistent XML schema. Use XML for display, data transmission or XSLT transformation. Load XML data back into objects.
- Highly optimized performance for reading and writing SQL and XML. Since native types are used and SQL chatter is non-existent, database performance is comparable with doing the mapping by hand. XML reading and writing uses SAX exclusively.

ADIOSKIDS is a Fedora-based live and installation CD with support for User Mode Linux (UML) virtual machines, further enhanced by Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS) and SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux). The live CD, which includes the KDE desktop environment, uses a compressed loopback filesystem.

The objective of the ADIOS project is to quickly and easily download a consistent operating system environment onto laboratory PCs. The ADIOS environment provides students with administrative privileges required to perform advanced exercises in Network and Systems Administration.

We needed a way to download a pre-installed version of the operating system onto the PC in the laboratory. There are many tools available to do this, but the ADIOS project uses a web server to deliver the Operating System images.

The ADIOS setup image is used to install operating systems onto disk partitions. It also copies the OS images from disk to disk to reduce network traffic. The ADIOS image was ported onto CDROM for students to use at home.

ADIOS-SELinux is a separate boot CD for running NSA Security Enhanced Linux. Additional software is available on the DVD version of ADIOS.

UMLet project is an open-source Java tool for rapidly drawing UML diagrams with a pop-up-free, light-weight user interface.
UMLet lets you draw diagram sketches fast; export diagrams to eps, pdf, jpg, svg, and sys.
Add elements to a diagram with a double click. Edit elements using the lower-right text panel. Select multiple elements using Ctrl or lasso. Press C to copy diagram to the system clipboard
Main features:
- fast
- text-based sequence diagram
- call from command line.

The P-UMLaut tool allows the user to transform UML 2.0 Sequence Diagrams to semantically equivalent Petri Nets.
These Petri Nets may then be simulated using the supplied PN simulator (of PEP descent) or operated on with any tool that can work with high level Petri Nets.
By plugging different Realms into the simulation by way of an event filter, the modeled world may then be displayed and interacted with in various fashions. A 3D animation module is supplied as well as two examples utilizing the complete toolchain.
Enhancements:
- A new Petrinet Simulator was implemented in Java which features Highlevel-PN to Lowlevel-PN unfolding and Timed-PN simulation.
- Filtering was enhanced. Irrlicht 0.12 is used.

Understanding computer networks without performing practical experiments is really difficult, not to say it is almost impossible. Unfortunately, setting up a networking lab can be very expensive.

Netkit has been conceived as an environment for setting up and performing networking experiments at low cost and with little effort. It allows to "create" several virtual network devices (full-fledged routers, switches, computers, etc.) that can be easily interconnected in order to form a network on a single PC. Networking equipments are virtual but feature many of the characteristics of the real ones, including the configuration interface.

Netkit exploits open source software (mostly licensed under GPL) and is heavily based on the User Mode Linux (UML) variant of the linux kernel. The purpose of this project is to solve many of the difficulties and technicalities that a user could have in using UML for networking. We offer the users an easy-to-use-and-install package, which at the same time implements effective network emulation. Further, we provide a corpus of teaching material that can be used for courses at different levels.

uml2svg is an XSLT-based tool for converting XMI-compliant UML Diagrams into SVG.
We started the developing uml2svg with six main goals in mind:
- Standard conformance
- Good Documentation
- Modularity
- Extensibility
- Comprehensible SVG
- Multiple diagrams per XMI-file
SVG is a standard language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics in XML. As the open SVG standard gains in popularity and gradually replaces proprietary formats for vectorial graphics, the support provided by the Web browsers is getting better.
Plugins to display SVG exist for most browsers and it is most likely that the next generation of Web browser will provide built-in support for SVG. When that happens there will be no better way to distribute vector graphics on the web. Furthermore, not only web browsers can process SVG in a meaningful way; in fact that is just the tip of the iceberg. SVG can be easily read in, processed, and then transformed into many other formats, being well suited for both text and graphic tools as well as for web agents and screen readers.
UML diagrams are composed of lines, polygons, ellipses and text labels, so they are inherently vectorial. However, the SVG is not very well suited for direct use by UML tools. While some of them can in fact export UML diagrams directly to SVG, they do that by discarding all the information about structure, and converting everything into a shape. Moreover, some tools use the screen-capture function provided by their environment (such as java2d) and then they apply a filter to generate SVG out of the "screenshot".
What comes out of that is a pile of meaningless information, which by accident happens to draw a gorgeous diagram. How will a screen reader interpret such a file? How will a web crawler be able to index it? How will a web agent process it in a meaningful way? A program needs the semantic information that the humans can extract just by looking at a picture. For a machine, an obfuscated SVG file is not easier to process than a PNG file or any other image.
Although for humans it is better to be able to scale the image, for a program this is irrelevant. Programs need a way to "understand" the semantics of the UML models to be able to process and interchange them in a meaningfull way. This was the main idea behind the XML Metadata Interchange (XMI), an OMG specification for model interchange. And probably the best use that XMI has found so far is the exchange of UML models between different modeling tools. And while the XMI provides a standard way for tools to represent models as XML documents, it is still limited to the model elements only.
With the introduction of the UML 2.0 Diagram Interchange Specification as part of the upcoming UML 2.0 standard, it will become possible for tools to exchange the models together with the layout of the diagrams. We think that, once this specification appears, XMI will be used averywhere. Not only will the tools be able to exchange diagrams, but could even represent them internaly as DOM trees. Have you ever considered drawing your UML diagrams online, using only a web browser? This could be done even now by using a custom SVG syntax for the DOM tree, but a solution based on XMI could do even better and be a standard at the same time.
Therefore, we believe that with the advent of UML 2.0 and the increase in the use of SVG, the need for transformations between XMI and SVG will be great. Nevertheless when the uml2svg project was started, there was hardly any good open-source solution to convert XMI diagams into SVG.
The UML 2.0 Diagram Interchange Adopted Specification in its current incipient form references a set of XSL transformations. Although the standard draft covers them to a large extent, the link is actually broken (you can try for yourself). It has been broken for more than a year and most likely it will stay like that forever.
The personal webpage of Professor Mario Jeckle provides an online transformation service capable of dynamically generating SVG from XMI-compliant XML files. The XSL files accomplishing the transformations are also available on that website. These transformations are monolithic and not well documented (the only documentation is in the code, and it is generally written in German). With the tragic accident that took the life of Professor Jeckle, the transformations have no longer been maintained.
Finally, the STZ-IDA research center in Karlsruhe had to convert UML diagrams to SVG, as part of one of their projects. The XSLT stylesheet they created for this purpose was named xmi2svg and is available under the terms of the MIT license. At the time we started work on uml2svg the only type of diagrams supported was class diagrams.
Recently the package reached version 0.2 and it supports more diagram types, without major changes in the code (the opposite of what we were expecting). Andreas Junghans, the author of xmi2svg, provided us with a lot of insightful hints which helped us eliminate many glitches in uml2svg. It looks that the development of uml2svg and xmi2svg will continue in parallel, at least for a while. The good thing about this is that the two (quite different) implementations prove each others validity and the features tend to propagate freely from one side to the other. However, this comes with the prize of having to maintain two different code-trees and possibly confusing some users.
We did not like the two existing solutions because they were:
incomplete - just prototypes, not well suited for production environment
monolithic - hard to maintain and extend
not documented - hard to understand
At first sight, we thought we could find a way to improve one of the existing solutions and just add the features we needed. However, we slowly came to the conclusion that it would be better if we started anew. There are things one can fix in a project, but that does not include what we thought is was bad design. The fact that the two implementations presented above are open source helped us get quickly on the way with our own project.
Enhancements:
- Two annoying bugs were fixed.
- The site and documentation were updated.

UMLSpeed project is a compiler for a simple, C-style language that allows declaration of UML entities and diagrams. Diagrams can be compiled into SVG and the entities to XMI for use with other tools.
Why?
- Graphical UML tools in general suck - why should we, as programmers have to drag and drop stupid graphical things and use a mouse when we could express what we want 10 times faster with a text editor and a simple notation? - More importantly, why should we have to lay everything out when the computer could do it for us?
- Graphical UML tools are bloated, huge, memory and disk-hogging monsters.
- Graphical UML tools use either a binary data format or XML, which is not particularly friendly to source code control systems.
Main features:
- Written in GCJ-portable java and compiled natively. Its extremely fast even when dealing with thousands of entities and diagrams.
- Purely command-line driven and takes miniscule resources.
- Flexible enough with file imports that large UML projects can be broken up into separate files and only individual bits built at a time as required.
- C-style syntax means that the source language integrates well with source code control and diff tools.
- Standards compliant - produces interoperable SVG and XMI, as well as clean source code.
- Can integrate with automated build tools for regular diagram/xmi compilation.
