Fingrams Generator

A free software tool for generation, visualization and analysis of fingrams.
It is available at Fingrams Generator website.
Fuzzy systems designed with GUAJE-vb3.0 can be handled by this new independent tool. It is also able to handle fuzzy systems generated by other software tools.

Fispro - Fuzzy Inference System Professional

An open source portable software for designing and handling fuzzy inference systems.
It is freely available at Fispro website.
GUAJE makes use of algorithms for knowledge induction provided by Fispro. GUAJE-vb3.0 works with Fispro3.5

Xfuzzy - Fuzzy Logic Design Tool

A fuzzy system development environment. It integrates a set of tools that cover several stages involved in the design process of fuzzy logic-based inference systems, from their initial description to their final implementation.
It is freely available at Xfuzzy website.
You can find more info related to previous versions at http://www2.imse-cnm.csic.es/Xfuzzy/.
Knowledge bases generated with GUAJE can be exported to the format recognized by Xfuzzy3. Moreover, GUAJE-vb3.0 makes use of the synthesis package provided by Xfuzzy in order to automatically generate Java source code for the designed fuzzy system.

ORE - Ontology Rule Editor

A platform-independent application to manage the use of inference rules defined on a model represented by an ontology.
It is freely available at ORE website.
GUAJE makes use of ORE libraries for browsing domain ontologies with the aim of making easier expert knowledge extraction tasks. Knowledge bases generated with GUAJE can be saved in a fuzzy ontology which is compatible with ORE. GUAJE-vb3.0 is tested with ORE-v3.0.

Weka - Data Mining Tool

An open source software for data mining tasks. It is fully developed in Java.
It is freely available at Weka website.
GUAJE makes use of some of the algorithms (SimpleKmeans and J48) provided with Weka.
GUAJE-vb3.0 is tested with Weka3.6.

Espresso - Logic Minimization Software

A free software for heuristic boolean minimization. The original algorithm was developed at IBM by Robert Brayton.
We have used the implementation freely available at Berkeley SIS 1.3 website.
GUAJE calls to Espresso as part of the Logical View analysis.

Graphviz - Graph Visualization Software

An open source graph visualization software.
It is distributed under Eclipse Public License - v 1.0.
We have used Graphviz for the generation of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files representing the Fingrams generated with GUAJE. Graphviz is freely available at Graphviz website. You must first download and install Graphviz (version 2.30 or later) and then inform to GUAJE of its root installation directory. GUAJE directly calls to the functions provided by Graphviz.
GUAJE-vb3.0 is tested with Graphviz2.38.

Batik - SVG Toolkit

A java-based toolkit for applications which want to use images in the SVG format.
It is freely available at Batik website, licensed according to the Apache License, Version 2.0.
GUAJE calls to Batik libraries for visualizing the SVG files previously generated with Graphviz.
GUAJE-vb3.0 is tested with Batik1.7.

JAMA - Java Matrix Package

A basic linear algebra package for Java. It is a cooperative product of the MathWorks and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) which has been released to the public domain.
It is freely available at Jama website.
GUAJE makes use of Jama-1.0.2.jar for computing metrics related to Fingrams. Namely for computing PageRank.

KEEL - Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning

An open source (GPLv3) Java software tool to assess evolutionary algorithms for Data Mining problems including regression, classification, clustering, pattern mining and so on.
It is freely available at KEEL website.
Notice that fuzzy association rules generated by KEEL can be taken as inputs by Fingrams Generator.
