Hardware resources

Will be making use of at least two powerful (700MHz+) x86 machines. Will possibly require use of several machines in the Linux Lab toward the end of the project.

Software resources

What follows is a list of probable software resources required:

• Operating systems: Linux

• Text processing

  • DocBook XML 4.1

  • LaTeX

• Compilers/interpreters

  • GNU C++ compiler

  • SUN JDK

  • Python 2.1 interpreter (possibly)

• Development libraries (all GPL unless otherwise mentioned)

  • Threading/networking C++ library (specifics are being researched; main candidates are Common C++ and CoreLinux++)

  • Xalan/Xerces C++ and Java for XML processing

  • Possibly other libraries for genetic algorithms (galib, ga2), neural networks (inanna)
