OpenSim – a dynamic 3D robotics simulator for AI research

Posted on February 25, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

A robotics simulator that utilizes a constrained rigid-body (Newtonian) solver to simulate multiple mobile robots and manipulator systems, including sensors. Intended for robotics/AI researchers. Currently includes various sensor simulations and inverse kinematics solvers for redundant serial-chain manipulators.

JAligner – Java implementation of biological sequence alignment algorithms

Posted on January 22, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

JAligner is a Java implementation of biological sequence alignment algorithms. Presently, the package implements the pair wise alignment algorithm Smith-Waterman. The basic Dynamic Programming Smith-Waterman algorithm has been modified to support affine (open and extend) gap penalty. Also, Gotoh’s improvement has been added to the algorithm to maintain the quadratic time complexity.

Fityk

Posted on January 14, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

Fityk is a program for nonlinear fitting of analytical functions (especially peak-shaped) to data (usually experimental data). The most concise description: peak fitting software. There are also people using it to remove the baseline from data, or to display data only.

JSci – A science API for Java

Posted on November 13, 2003 by Dan Gezelter

JSci is a set of open source Java packages. The aim is to encapsulate scientific methods/principles in the most natural way possible. As such they should greatly aid the development of scientific based software. Features include: abstract math interfaces, linear algebra (support for various matrix types), statistics, wavelets, newtonian mechanics, chart/graph components (AWT and Swing), partial MathML DOM implementation, lots more…

The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK)

Posted on November 12, 2003 by Dan Gezelter

e CDK classes are Java utitility classes for ChemoInformatics and Computational chemistry, written in Java. They are developed constantly developed parallel to other projects that make use of them. They are a complete re-write of the CompChem classes that were the basis of JChemPaint, a Java Editor for 2D chemical structures, and of JMDraw, a Java package for the graphical layout of 2D chemical structures.
