Major Products
elemenope
A Service Oriented Architecture [SOA] and general messaging framework. Provides transport abstraction, functional abstraction, payload abstraction, fault tolerant messaging, and multiple transport protocol implementations out of the box. Includes JMS, Web Services, direct call, MQSeries (WebSphereMQ), and mainframe connectivity implementations. Supports implementation of new connectivity implementations. The elemenope framework has a number of bleeding edge capabilities that are only now anticipated in the feature sets of other products. elemenope is over eight years ahead of the curve on most SOA features. Key features of the framework are still nonexistent elsewhere in the industry.
OOGA
Object Oriented Genetic Algorithm Open SOA Framework A framework to facilitate implementation of published Genetic Algorithms [GA] as well as experiment with advanced distributed GA. Multiple concurrent distributed populations are supported, as well as complex individual types. OOGA provides the capability for separation of GA implementation from Individual (or problem) implementation. This feature allows direct comparison of GA, as well as the provision of a standardized GA library.
Vespucci GIS
GIS/Geospatial SOA Framework. Facilitates implementation and integration of distributed GIS applications. Leverages elemenope framework to provide transparent and unlimited scalability and component distribution.
RosettaType
Free and open source [FOSS] Project to research and implement multiple engines for generic software object abstraction (also known as Payload Abstraction) to a common structure [RosettaType]. Allows transport of any object over any implemented protocol, to/from any language in standardized and optimized fashion. Implementation of JMS, XML-RPC, Direct, and XML engines.
xc : XmlConfiguration for Java
Open-source Java library for simplified parsing of configuration files written in XML.
Teramoto
GIS research application for seismic event and resultant compressional wave (P-Wave) mapping and study.
