Open Source Initiative for Scientific Development Tools

Objectives

Several universities, research facilities and companies still use and develop Eclipse RCP applications to solve problems within a certain scientific scope. This page shall give an overview of existing applications. Moreover, it demonstrates that Eclipse applications are well suited for the needs of scientific research both in non-commercial/educational and commercial context. Hence, the intention is to enable a vivid scientific community within the Eclipse Foundation. The goals of such a working group and community are the following:

• To provide an infrastructure for interoparibility between various scientific applications
• To prevent reinventing the wheel over and over again
• To enable an interdisciplinary research and development
• To solve problems as a community and hence to lower the costs of development
• To inspire students and scientists to use and utilize open source software
• To help industrial partners to get better products
