Software is growing ever-more complex and new software processes, methods and products put greater demands on software engineers than ever before. The support of appropriate software tools is essential for developers to maximise their ability to effectively and efficiently deliver quality software

Almost as long as there have been user interfaces, there have been special software systems and tools to help design and implement the user interface software. Many of these tools have demonstrated significant productivity gains for programmers, and have become important commercial products. Others

of nestedness across different studies. We developed the FALCON software package to allow easy and efficient comparison of nestedness scores and statistical significances for a given input network, using a selection of the more popular measures and null models from the current literature. FALCON currently

Any system that assists the programmer with some aspect of programming can be considered a programming tool. Similarly, a system that assists in some phase of the software development process can be considered a software tool. A programming environment is a suite of programming tools designed

This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network transparent robot control. Player seeks to constrain controller design as little as possible; it is device independent

Software tool construction is a risky business, with uncertain rewards. Many tools never get used. This is a truism: software tools, however brilliantly conceived, well-designed, and meticulously constructed, have little impact unless they are actually adopted by real programmers. While

is drawn towards the comparison and assessment of such software tools. The results of this assessment are presented.

A collection of software tools are presented which provide a programming interface for macromolecular Crystallographic Information File (mmCIF) dictionaries and data files. These tools are part of a software framework developed by the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) [1, 2] to address practical problems
