Software Development

We have a team of professional software engineers who collaborate with researchers and clients to produce professional quality scientific software.

 

Specialities include modelling, simulation, web applications, distributed computing, optimisation, finite element analysis, etc.

 

We have experience in a large number of programming languages and technologies including modern technologies such as C#.NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET and also other languages, including Java, C++, JADE, Delphi, Pascal and FORTRAN, and other technologies such as visualisation (VTK, Google Earth etc, parallel computing (MPI, OpenMP etc) and grid computing (Globus Toolkit, Condor, Storage Resource Broker, etc).

 

List of Projects:

 

- Irricad
- Cumulative Agrichemical Residue Tracking (CART)
- FarmSim – IRAP
- AquiferSim
