Many computer programs have graphical user interfaces (GUIs). UI layout supports efficient use of screen real estate. Most GUIs do not have a fixed layout, but are resizable and able to adapt sizes of window, screen and widgets. Constraints are a powerful tool for specifying adaptable GUI layouts: they are used to specify a layout in a general form, and a constraint solver is used to find a sat...

We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loose...

CodeMonkey is a GUI driven software development platform that allows non-experts and experts alike to turn an evolutionary algorithm design into a working Java program, with a minimal amount of manual code entry. This paper describes the concepts behind CodeMonkey, its internal architecture and manner of use. It concludes with a simple application that exhibits its utilization for multi-dimensi...

This report describes Visual Obliq, a user interface development environment for constructing distributed, multi-user applications. Applications are created by designing the interface with a GUI-builder and embedding callback code in an interpreted language, in much the same way as one would build a traditional (nondistributed, single-user) application with a modern user interface development e...

This paper addresses the problem of IDE interface complexity by introducing single-window graphical user interface. This approach lies in removing additional child windows from IDE, thus allowing a user to keep only text editor window open. We describe an abstract model of IDE GUI that is based on most popular modern integrated environments and has generalized user interface parts. Then this ab...

Fluorescence imaging is a powerful method for monitoring dynamic signals in the nervous system. However, analysis of dynamic fluorescence imaging data remains burdensome, in part due to the shortage of available software tools. To address this need, we have developed SIMA, an open source Python package that facilitates common analysis tasks related to fluorescence imaging. Functionality of this...

SUMMARY MulRF is a platform-independent software package for phylogenetic analysis using multi-copy gene trees. It seeks the species tree that minimizes the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance to the input trees using a generalization of the RF distance to multi-labeled trees. The underlying generic tree distance measure and fast running time make MulRF useful for inferring phylogenies from large col...

Simflowny is an open platform which automatically generates parallel code of scientific dynamical models for different simulation frameworks. Here we present major upgrades on this software to support an extended set of families of models, in particular: i) a new generic family for partial differential equations, which can include spatial derivatives of any order, ii) a new family for agent bas...

We introduce an open-source MATLAB software package, named Crazyseismic, for passive seismic data preprocessing. Built-in core functions such as seismic phase travel-time calculation and multichannel cross correlation significantly improve the efficiency of data processing. Compared with conventional command-line-style toolboxes, all functions in Crazyseismic are embedded in one single graphic ...
