Open Source Java Frameworks

reacTIVision is a computer vision framework for the fast and robust tracking of markers attached on physical objects, and the creation of multi-touch surfaces. It was designed for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces.

Cross-platform data acquisition and visualization software with an embedded HTTP-server, binary protocol parsing library, protocol emulation server, remote secure administration server, embedded Groovy scripting facilities and HMI (SCADA) visualization module.

iGesture is a Java-based gesture recognition framework providing access to multiple gesture recognition algorithms and different input devices. The iGesture Workbench supports the definition and evaluation of customised gesture sets and algorithms.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

Compiere MFG+SCM Manufacturing Extended System (MES). Include Shop Floor Control, Supply chain management, Quality management, modbus interface, iReport barcode extension etc. Support batch and on demand manufacturing. Works alone or connected to ERP.

The BlueDecode frame work is an Open Source Third Party Java Library used for developing more interactive and customized 2D graphical user interfaces in Java using a MVC and object oriented programming approach.

Cyberinfrastructure Shell (CIShell) is an open source, community-driven framework/application for the integration and utilization of datasets, algorithms, tools, and computing resources. Algorithms can be integrated using most programming languages.

Framework SRM (Sound Recognizer ME) written in Java Micro Edition capable of recognize abstract sounds and isolated words announcer dependent on mobile devices.

The Information Visualization Cyberinfrastructure is a graphical tool with diverse modeling, analysis, and visualization algorithms for education and research. This tool is built on CiShell: Cyberinfrastructure Shell.

Context-awareness is a key concept in ubiquitous computing. The Java Context-Awareness Framework (JCAF) is a Java-based context-awareness infrastructure and programming API for creating context-aware applications.

A plug-in for the Eclipse and NetBeans IDEs for experimental use in the development and testing of Automation Objects (AOs) for industrial automation and control.

OpenL implements Java-like languages allowing to use code snippets placed in Excel, XML, or DB. OpenL is a foundation for OpenRules http://openrules.com. Maintained from http://openl.org

OpenUAT is a toolkit for authentication in ubiquitous computing systems.

A SOA-based framework for multilingual question answering (QA) systems that answer natural language questions with the help of a domain ontology and structured answer data sources from freely specifiable domains.

TOYVision is a software toolkit for the easy prototyping of Hybrid Videogames, mixing physical and virtual elements. Designers and developers of videogames, can use ToyVision to develop computer augmented hybrid games, based on manipulation of physical playing pieces and body gestures. ToyVision, supports Reactivision to comunicate with visual based Tabletop devices /http://nuigroup.com/go/lite), and Kinect sensor to track players movements ToyVision enables passive (carried out by the player) and active (carried out by the computer through the Arduino microcontroller) Any programming language can be used to develop games with toyvision, provided by implementing a TCP-IP socket. Moreover, Proccesing API and finished samples are already provided in this project. ToyVision is based on the Reactivision framework. More info: www.toyvision.org

The VilAug framework for visual linguistics! This gadget contains an IconNet with icons like WordNet and an IconMessenger as instant messenger. A new ontology is used, grammars for visual languages designed. A language with signs? Create it with VilAug.
