alvaModel
alvaModel is a software tool for building, validating, comparing, and applying QSAR and QSPR models. It supports regression and classification workflows based on molecular descriptors and fingerprints, with a strong focus on model transparency, interpretability, and scientific robustness.
The software includes multiple data splitting strategies, variable selection methods, modeling algorithms, and comprehensive internal and external validation procedures. alvaModel provides diagnostic plots, applicability domain analysis, and model comparison tools to support the identification of reliable and predictive models.
Designed according to best practices in chemometrics, alvaModel facilitates the development of interpretable models consistent with the OECD principles for QSAR validation, making it suitable for research and regulatory-oriented applications. The graphical interface guides users through the entire modeling workflow while allowing full control over each modeling step.

alvaMolecule
alvaMolecule is a no-code cheminformatics tool for visualizing, curating, and standardizing molecular datasets before analysis. It supports common molecular formats (SMILES, SDF/MOL2) and lets users explore collections in grid or spreadsheet views, with automatic import of associated data. The software provides structure verification and standardization using predefined standardizers and custom SMIRKS rules, helps detect and manage duplicates, and offers scaffold analysis to summarize core frameworks.
Built-in filters and charting tools enable sorting by substructure, calculated molecular descriptors, and physicochemical properties. alvaMolecule calculates ~88 structural and physicochemical properties, including drug-like and lead-like scores such as LogP, TPSA, and the Lipinski alert index, helping prepare high-quality datasets for QSAR/QSPR modeling, descriptor calculation, and virtual screening workflows.

alvaBuilder
alvaBuilder is a no-code de novo molecular design software for generating novel chemical structures that satisfy user-defined structural, physicochemical, and modeling constraints. It enables the creation of new molecules starting from scratch or by evolving existing structures using fragment-based and rule-driven approaches.
alvaBuilder integrates seamlessly with QSAR/QSPR workflows, allowing users to guide molecule generation using predictive models, descriptor ranges, and property targets. The software supports medicinal chemistry, lead optimization, and virtual screening tasks by efficiently exploring chemical space while maintaining chemical feasibility and interpretability.
alvaBuilder is designed for research and industrial applications where transparent, controllable, and reproducible molecular generation is required.

Apache Knox
The Knox API Gateway is designed as a reverse proxy with consideration for pluggability in the areas of policy enforcement, through providers and the backend services for which it proxies requests. Policy enforcement ranges from authentication/federation, authorization, audit, dispatch, hostmapping and content rewrite rules. Policy is enforced through a chain of providers that are defined within the topology deployment descriptor for each Apache Hadoop cluster gated by Knox. The cluster definition is also defined within the topology deployment descriptor and provides the Knox Gateway with the layout of the cluster for purposes of routing and translation between user facing URLs and cluster internals. Each Apache Hadoop cluster that is protected by Knox has its set of REST APIs represented by a single cluster specific application context path. This allows the Knox Gateway to both protect multiple clusters and present the REST API consumer with a single endpoint.
