Music21 is a set of tools for helping scholars and other active listeners answer questions about music quickly and simply. If you’ve ever asked yourself a question like, “I wonder how often Bach does that” or “I wish I knew which band was the first to use these chords in this order,” or “I’ll bet we’d know more about Renaissance counterpoint (or Indian ragas or post-tonal pitch structures or the form of minuets) if I could write a program to automatically write more of them,” then music21 can help you with your work.

Although computers have transformed how we listen to, obtain, compose, and notate music, they have not fundamentally changed how we research and analyze music. Though many computer databases have been created for musicology, they are not well adapted for sophisticated music queries. For instance, melodies can be found if exact matches exist. But melodic variations such as the repetition of a phrase or a change in embellishment are extremely common, yet cause searches to fail. More complex investigations, such as finding all melodies that imply a particular underlying harmony, can barely begin to be created with existing software packages. The lack of relevant software for analyzing music hampers scientific attempts to understand what we listen for and how we process what we hear; these activities are little understood despite music’s nearly universal presence in our daily lives. The music21 project at M.I.T. will give to the music community the set of tools it needs to conduct sophisticated musical and statistical analysis using modern programming techniques. The software framework, written in Python, manipulates music as a collection of symbolic data, such as pitch names and note durations, that can then be classified as higher level musical structures according to the style, region, or period being studied. Music21 focuses specifically on the manipulation of symbolic music data: it leaves to the many preexisting open-source and proprietary software packages the notation and audio playback of scores (the two areas where computer-aided music research is most developed). By focusing on the points of greatest need to musicology, the framework will give rapid results within a short timeframe.

YARI is a comprehensive tool suite to debug, spy, spider, inspect and navigate Eclipse based application GUIs (Workbench or RCP). If you want to know how your swt ui is built up or which plugins contribute to your eclipse workbench YARI will offer you all the information needed. It allows you to have a deep look into the swt or eclipse internals. Search an id for a menu contribution, find a contributing plugin or debug the swt/jface ui (e.g. figure out layout problems) is a core feature of the tool.

cloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages. It is written entirely in Perl with no dependencies outside the standard distribution of Perl v5.6 and higher (code from some external modules is embedded within cloc) and so is quite portable. cloc is known to run on many flavors of Linux, Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris, IRIX, z/OS, and Windows. (To run the Perl source version of cloc on Windows one needs ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 or higher, or Cygwin installed. Alternatively one can use the Windows binary of cloc generated with perl2exe to run on Windows computers that have neither Perl nor Cygwin.)

Macker is a build-time architectural rule checking utility for Java developers. It's meant to model the architectural ideals programmers always dream up for their projects, and then break -- it helps keep code clean and consistent. You can tailor a rules file to suit a specific project's structure, or write some general "good practice" rules for your code. Macker doesn't try to shove anybody else's rules down your throat; it's flexible, and writing a rules file is part of the development process for each unique project. Read more about what it does and what it's for in the very exciting FAQ. If your curiousity's piqued, skim the guide, or inspect a few simple examples. It's free (GPL). You can download it and try it out. Questions or suggestions? Feel free to share them.

JDepend sorgt für gute Beziehungen Author: dbt23 11 Mai Irgendwie spuckt jDepend interessante Werte aus, aber was so richtig damit anfangen? Nur eine Zahl um so etwas wie Paket-Instabilität auszudrücken? Wieso soll ich mich überhaupt um zyklische Abhängigkeiten kümmern, wenn mein System doch prima läuft? Und was um alles in der Welt ist ein dot in der Graphenvisualisierung?

"KNIME, pronounced [naim], is a modular data exploration platform that enables the user to visually create data flows (often referred to as pipelines), selectively execute some or all analysis steps, and later investigate the results through interactive views on data and models. KNIME was developed (and will continue to be expanded) by the Chair for Bioinformatics and Information Mining at the University of Konstanz, Germany. The group headed by Michael Berthold is also using KNIME for teaching and research at the University. Quite a number of new data analysis methods developed at the chair are integrated in KNIME. Let us know if you are looking for something in particular, not all of those modules are part of the standard KNIME release just yet... KNIME base version already incorporates over 100 processing nodes for data I/O, preprocessing and cleansing, modelling, analysis and data mining as well as various interactive views, such as scatter plots, parallel coordinates and others. It integrates all analysis modules of the well known Weka data mining environment and additional plugins allow R-scripts to be run, offering access to a vast library of statistical routines. KNIME is based on the Eclipse platform and, through its modular API, easily extensible. When desired, custom nodes and types can be implemented in KNIME within hours thus extending KNIME to comprehend and provide first-tier support for highly domain-specific data. This modularity and extensibility permits KNIME to be employed in commercial production environments as well as teaching and research prototyping settings. If you would like to read a more detailed description of the software, please download the attached White Paper. KNIME is being released under a dual licensing scheme. A non-profit open source license allows KNIME to be downloaded, distributed, and used freely so long as the software or extensions built onto it are not distributed for commercial gain. See license arrangements for complete details."

EasyReg International Free Econometrics Software for Easy Regression Analysis Herman J. Bierens Pennsylvania State University Department of Economics University Park, PA 16802, USA EasyReg (Easy Regression) conducts various econometric estimation and testing tasks on all 32bit Windows platforms (95 through Vista), simply by clicking the mouse. EasyReg is designed for use in empirical research (including my own), and for teaching econometrics. In the latter case the user can choose his or her own econometrics level. EasyReg is called International because it accepts dots and/or commas as decimal delimiters, regardless of the local number setting of Windows. Moreover, EasyReg works under non-English versions of Windows as well without the need to adjust the language setting of Windows, as long as the language involved uses a roman alphabet, for example German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and French Windows versions. However, if your Windows uses a language with a non-roman alphabet such as Japanese and Chinese, and the EasyReg menus do not open automatically when you move the mouse pointer over them, the problem is likely due to the language setting for non-Unicode programs (EasyReg is such a program). If so, open Control Panel, select "Regional and Language Options", and on the "Advanced" tab, under "Language for non-Unicode programs", select English. Click here for detailed instructions. This will fix the problem without affecting the language of Windows itself.
