Interesting Stuff: little b, PAMP, Schelog, OpenWetWare.org, and SamePlace Instant Messenger
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008- little b:
The little b project is an effort to provide an open source language which allows scientists to build mathematical models of complex systems. The initial focus is systems biology. The goal is to stimulate widespread sharing and reuse of models.
The little b language is designed to allow biologists to build models quickly and easily from shared parts, and to allow theorists to program new ways of describing complex systems. Currently, libraries have been developed for building ODE models of molecular networks in multi-compartment systems such as cellular epithelia.
Little b is based in Common Lisp and contains mechanisms for rule-based reasoning, symbolic mathematics and object-oriented definitions. The syntax is designed to be terse and human-readable to facilitate communication. The environment is both interactive and compilable.
- PAMP:
Resources for installing Apache, MySQL, PHP, and (it seems) Python on S60 phones.
- haXe:
haXe is a high-level object-oriented programming language mainly focused on helping programers develop Websites and Web applications. haXe has been designed to be easily portable across several platforms. The haXe compiler supports the following platforms [… JavaScript, Flash, and Neko]
intro [haXe.org] - Programming in Schelog (dates from mid-2003):
Schelog is an embedding of Prolog-style logic programming in Scheme. ‘Embedding’ means you don’t lose Scheme: You can use Prolog-style and conventional Scheme code fragments alongside each other. Schelog contains the full repertoire of Prolog features, including meta-logical and second-order (’set’) predicates, leaving out only those features that could more easily and more efficiently be done with Scheme subexpressions.
- OpenWetWare.org (a wiki):
OpenWetWare is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering. OWW provides a place for labs, individuals, and groups to organize their own information and collaborate with others easily and efficiently. In the process, we hope that OWW will not only lead to greater collaboration between member groups, but also provide a useful information portal to our colleagues, and ultimately the rest of the world.
OpenWetWare:About - SamePlace Instant Messenger:
Extensible instant messaging client based on the XMPP (Jabber) protocol. Accesses Jabber, GTalk, Twitter, MSN, AIM (and more, via gateways).
This Firefox addon requires another to function: xmpp4moz.
