Open Source Distributed Computing Software

The first 3D game engine built in C# for .NET, predecessor to the Visual3D Game Engine (https://www.poweraccess.net/visual3d-game-engine), an All-in-One Game Development Tool for Next-Gen 3D Games, MMOs, Simulations and Virtual Worlds powered by Microsoft XNA.

Software originally realised by the Grid research project Akogrimo (http:/www.mobilegrids.org) working on integrating network capabilities with Grid Middleware. Selected topics are Context Management, SIP/SOAP integration, Semantic workflows, ...

The Citizen Privacy Service is an asynchronous component using artificial intelligence capabilities including DL decidability and first order logic provenance that provide policy decision and policy enforcement points based on the US Privacy Act of 1974.

HERAKLES is a reasoning broker framework for OWL (Web Ontology Language) reasoning systems.

MACOW is a formal and scalable mandatory access implementation suitable on open worlds such as the provided on Semantic Web, Autonomic Computing and Coaltions and Federations scenarios. It is able to access control on distributed systems.

MapPSO is a tool for Ontology Alignment, which uses Discrete Particle Swarm Optimisation. A particle swarm is used to search for the optimal alignment. The algorithm is massively parallel and adapts naturally on parallel architectures.

Poor Man's HPC is a framework that allows distributing and running code on a server farm. pmHPC is a scaled down and simplified version of distributed computing projects such as SETI, so is a perfect fit for enthusiasts and universities.

Java-based security platform which provides a multi-user service middleware for distributed systems. Features: service environment, Shell-based interaction, user authentication (password, soft-token, smard-card), policy enforcement, Web services support

Spyse is a software framework for building multi-agent systems. It allows Python developers to build distributed intelligent systems of multiple cooperative agents based on FIPA, OWL, SOA and many others. Spyse is designed for ease-of-use and fun.

WS Arena is a XMPP platform that allows applications to multiplex streaming messages of any content type. Messaging can be accomplished asynchronously across networks in real time. Possible transport modes include WS-to-WS, WS-to-XMPP, and XMPP-to-XMPP.

A highly modular client remote/web services library written in Python supporting multiple protocols and transports through a unified interface. All modules are as independent as possible from each other to ensure high re-usability.

Samizdat is a toolkit for Java for building Kerberos secured distributed, message-oriented applications. The toolkit contains base classes that simplifies the management of Kerberos login contexts as well as flexibly sign and seal messages between principals using the Java GSS API. The toolkit contains Transformation classes for Kerberizing JMS traffic as well as a super-lean HTTP based protocol stack that supports both Synchronous (RPC) and Asynchronous modalities.
