Connectionists: TiViPE 2.0.0 now available on Linux, Max, and Windows: Spend more time on research and less on coding

[Tino Lourens]

Dear all,

Visual programming environment TiViPE version 2.0.0 (Sep 2005) is
available on all major platforms (Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows).

If you would like to program faster, need a rapid prototyping tool,
would like to modify a program while it is active, would like to
integrate code (C, C++, Fortran, or Java) with minimal additonal effort
then TiViPE might be the appropriate solution.

Actually, I wanted a program that could wrap any routine into a
graphical environment without programming and with little additional
effort. Since, such a migration process is essential for users to move
from textual programming to graphical programming. In this respect
TiViPE provides a major difference to for instance AVS or Khoros.

    * TiViPE includes already a considerable number of useful icons for
image processing and includes most of my research on early vision
(center-surround, simple-, complex, endstopped cells, etc.) and
graphmatching.
    * TiViPE can be downloaded from:

     
http://www.dei.brain.riken.jp/~emilia/Collaboration/Tino/TiViPE/index.html
On that website, you will find more information about TiViPE, as well as
an optional library that extends the environment with 1. networking
support through socket communication 2. merging support to compile a
graphical program to a single icon and executable.

Online available TiViPE modules provided by other users:
    *  Relaxation Phase Labeling

The next release of TiViPE will have
    * Language support: in addition to English also "Nihongo"; Japanese
language support will be provided.
    * Automatic inclusion of a tree of modules from other users
