The Evolutionary Environment Simulator (EvESimulator) is an agent-based economy simulation framework which provides a broader view on evolutionary aspects within a Digital Business Ecosystem.

This project has been moved to https://bitbucket.org/pbazant/evoversum/src/master/ . Evoversum is a fast Darwinian evolution simulator. The program simulates a 2D world populated with "animals" which struggle for food, reproduce and may also eat each other. The subject of evolution is their behavior, which may become quite complex. There is an updated video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPkZvyVDWJU !

Extended Bioaccumulation Framework (ExBAF) is a tool for assessing bioaccumulation in foodwebs. Supports several bioaccumulation models and provides tools for analysis and visualization.

Given the importance of anthropogenic determinants in forest ecosystems within Europe, the objective of the FFSM++ model is to link the evidence arising from biological models with socio-economic determinants, where the expected returns of forest investments represent the main drivers. An (inventory-based) forest dynamic model is hence coupled with a (partial equilibrium) market module and a (micro-based) management one in a national level forest sector model for France (FFSM++). The model is fully open source (GPL3) with the sole exception that if you publish some document based on a modified version of FFSM++ you need to publish also the modifications you made.

A library of R packages for use in fisheries modelling, including the evaluation of management strategies and stock assessment.

The software takes the initial gene correlations obtained as initial data, or from a Genepop file, and simulates the transgenerational transition of both the gene correlations and the fixation indices (Fls, Fil y Fis) for any number of generations.

FreeRanger is an Electronic Field Guide, implemented as a Java2 Mobile Applet, so it can be carried in a smart phone or PDA, and used to identify wildlife, minerals, or anything else for which a paper field guide might normally be used.

Fuzzy Ecospace Modelling (FEM) is an R-based program for quantifying and comparing functional disparity, using a fuzzy set theory-based machine learning approach. FEM clusters n-dimensional matrices of functional traits (ecospace matrices – here called the Training Matrix) into functional groups and converts them into fuzzy functional groups using fuzzy discriminant analysis (Lin and Chen 2004 – see main text for more information). Following this, FEM classifies the functional entities from a second matrix (the Test Matrix) into the groups made using the Training Matrix, generating fuzzy membership values for each unit in the Test Matrix. These values are real numbers from 0 to 1, representing increasing degrees of “truth” regarding an organism’s membership in the fuzzy set (see main text). A value of 0 represents non-membership in the fuzzy set, and a value of 1 represents total membership in the fuzzy set. Values in between represent degrees of niche overlap.

GDCBOx helps to acquire values in your network from measuring devices and transfers these values to a server. GDCBox is a package distributed für embedded linux systems such as OpenWRT.

GSMeteo provides an interface to LaCrosse weather stations through a GSM phone. Users simply call the phone attached to the system and wait for the answer: a voice synthetized with Festival speech libraries will read realtime data coming from the weather

A cross-platform Java program to turn a simple Geiger counter into the equivalent of a state-of-the art digital model, plus some – using your laptop computer.

GIS data for Greece has been scarce. This project aims to provide methods, instructions and data for the construction of environmental maps of Greece with the help of open source GIS tools.

GridSweeper makes it easy to perform batch runs of scientific simulation programs on computational grids/distributed resource management systems.

The web based system specially suited to manage the plants growth with a friendly blog-like interface. Organized and flexible statistics views, well organized database gathers together and develops the experience in gardening and horticulture.

The service takes advantage of the environmental control networks existing along the city of Bilbao and the indicators elaborated by their data. These networks consist in a number of networked meteorological stations metering atmospheric variables and other related to pollution, level of pollen in the air, etc. The system uses other data sources in order to provide the user with a complete information overview, including predictions, and taking account predictive simulation and risk models that are being used by some public administrations. The more relevant features for the model are: Geo-referenced data sets about: - Quality of the air in the city - Pollen level - Weather information - Weather forecast

HydroSed2D is a two-dimensional numerical model for hydrodynamics and sediment transport on unstructured mesh.

The Hydroponic Automation Platform Initiative (HAPI) develops and provides hardware and software components for automating food production using hydroponic, aquaponics, and precision agriculture techniques. High-yield production in urban settings is one of the primary goals. Artifacts include hardware design (mainly Arduino-based), firmware, management software and reporting modules.

IBIS - Interactive Biodiversity Informatics Software - is software to identify species or other taxa. Intended users range from school children or citizen scientists to ecologists or taxonomists. The identification keys can be embedded in CMS or Wiki

INMS provides an easy to use interface to calculate basic parameters in drip irrigation in Tunisia. it uses FAO's CLIMWAT database to extract ETP values in Tunisian climate stations.
