Open Source Ecosystem Sciences Software

The Life Cycle Assessment Spreadsheet allows you to calculate carbon footprints and other environmental impacts for given product systems. Use requires basic skills in LCA and matrix algebra, but rewards effort with professional analytical tools.

A simple python script for aquarists that figures tank volume, salinity, converts temp & volume, and calculates substrates based on their specific gravity.

DUAPI (distributed unified agent programming interface) is a class library for creating and modelling the society of autonomous software agents. It also common to active objects and virtualization paradigm at all.

Electronics schematics, PCB images, firmware and documentation to create and deploy a network of ecology related sensors.

The Evolutionary Environment (EvENet) provides a P2P Network for guiding the evolution of Software Services and Service Compositions over time. This evolution is based on knowledge sharing and optimised using GA and Agent Systems. It is part of the DBE.

FishLAB is an easy-to-use program for tracking aquarium water chemistry. With FishLab you can monitor pH, hardness, NH4, NO2, NO3, Fe, CO2 (the software converts units where needed). The graph function warns you of bad trends in water quality.

FreeRanger is an Electronic Field Guide, implemented as a Java2 Mobile Applet, so it can be carried in a smart phone or PDA, and used to identify wildlife, minerals, or anything else for which a paper field guide might normally be used.

GridSweeper makes it easy to perform batch runs of scientific simulation programs on computational grids/distributed resource management systems.

The web based system specially suited to manage the plants growth with a friendly blog-like interface. Organized and flexible statistics views, well organized database gathers together and develops the experience in gardening and horticulture.

Run-time libraries to support the Kitchen Sink, an all-purpose chemical process control board, based on the Atmel AVR ATmega1280 chip, using the Arduino core libraries.

MBAS -- Macro-Biological Analysis System -- provides a set of interoperable tools for aid in the analysis of biological data. The backing database is currently PostgreSQL and the primary language is C, though some data entry tools are written in Java.

Obs-dm aims to provide a robust and reliable way to collect, analyze, and share observational data. It is being designed for extendability into other areas such as fisheries and habitat science.

OpenAMIS (Open AgroMeteorological Information System) is customable free and open software for websites providing agrometeorological information to farmers and agroindustry.

This will be next version of PHIbase.

Physical modelling of water transport in plants

A collection of modules and enduser tools designed to help design, test and use system models. While my research (hence, the examples) is focused on hydro-ecological systems, the program can be used on any system characterized by ODEs (and soon PDEs?)

Project to provide both software and hardware schematics to implement a comprehensive saltwater reef controller/computer.

A Silverlight framework that makes it easy to develop games and applications simulating creatures that interacts with eachother.

This project will produce a formal, open source System Dynamics information model specification document to rigorously define the set of model objects, their relationships, their attributes, and the operations performed during modeling and simulation.

UIBM (= Universal Individual-Based Model) is an agent-based simulation/3d-dvisualization of the dynamics within multispecies plant communities of Northwest Europe, parameterized from databases using universal scaling laws.

The VIP Toolbox is a set of libraries and tools to enable researchers to process image data from the VEGETATION and other remote sensing sensors.

Artificial life simulation where computer programs (virtual organisms or VOs for short) compete on a grid for computer time. May the most intelligent VO win!

This project aims to develop various tools for artificial life and complex systems simulations: from the simulator itself to generic generation tools.

GeoSciPy is a set of C and Python functions that provide an API for all aspects of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Applications. Functions include reading/writing of many data formats, images, vectors, ..., and processing of images, vectors, ... including map projections, ... The library is written C, using HDF5 as the file format for storage of all remotely-sensed data and ancillary data, as well as processed data. The C functions assume a particular format for the HDF5 file contents, and provide functions for reading and writing data to such files. There is also a Python API that provides a procedural as well as an object-oriented interface to these functions. A Python GUI for interacting with such datasets is also part of the project. While there are other open-source GIS, and image-processing packages available, this one is designed to be comprehensive, work on 3 major platforms, user-extensible, fast, and able to handle huge datasets.
