Our Software

Software is being developed as funded by a variety of projects listed below. The outcome of this work is a set of software modules which will inter-operate and have a common architecture. This work is ongoing and future funding will extend the functionality and provide additional use cases.

The entire software suite does not yet have a name, but one will be provided soon. Its working acronym is "JAM".
