PARC Living Laboratory
In the spirit of open innovation and social media, PARC researchers have created a "living laboratory" that will offer prototype solutions to the public for trial, feedback, and dialogue. In turn, we hope to draw on the collective ideas and diverse perspectives our online community will share. We will be launching a series of web-based experiments here and look forward to starting interesting conversations with you.
| WikiDashboard — PARC researchers recently announced this prototype visualization tool for analyzing users' editing patterns on Wikipedia articles. The tool shows visualizations embedded in live Wikipedia pages to provide social transparency by documenting page editors and revisions on each page. The research team's goal is to enhance credibility for page content – leading to higher levels of trust in Wikipedia. More... |

ScanScribe™ Image Editor — This document image editor makes it easy to extract, manipulate, and combine sketches, handwritten notes, whiteboard images, screen snapshots, and scanned documents. More...
Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) Tool — ACH is a simple model for how to think about a complex problem when the available information is incomplete or ambiguous, as typically happens in intelligence analysis. Particularly useful for issues that require careful weighing of alternative explanations, this software takes an analyst through a process for making a well-reasoned judgment and helps the analyst overcome some of the cognitive limitations that make prescient intelligence analysis so difficult.

Phase Automata Robot Scripting Language — A modular robot programming environment and simulator that provides an XML-based specification of gaits and behaviors for modular or high-degree-freedom robots. More...
Inter-Language Unification (ILU) — A multi-language object interface system that can be used to build multi-lingual object-oriented libraries ("class libraries") with well-specified language-independent interfaces. The object interfaces provided by ILU hide implementation distinctions between different languages, between different address spaces, and between operating system types. More... |

Parallel Grammar Project — The ParGram project is a collaborative effort involving researchers in industrial and academic institutions around the world. The aim of the project is to produce wide coverage grammars for a wide variety of languages. These are written collaboratively within the linguistic framework of Lexical Functional Grammar and with a commonly-agreed-upon set of grammatical features. More...
PlayOn Blog — An investigation into the social dimensions of massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), PARC researchers have studied and shared their findings and guidelines about the community, interaction, and culture in these virtual worlds. More...
ByOnic/ComByne software programs for automated analysis of mass spectra — ByOnic identifies the peptides found in CID MS/MS spectra, and ComByne integrates the peptide identifications into a list of protein identifications, ranked by confidence. Submit spectra and compare results. More...
AspectJ® aspect-oriented programming language — With the goal of making it possible to cleanly capture complex design structures in software implementations, PARC researchers developed this general-purpose aspect-oriented programming language. In December 2002, PARC transferred AspectJ to an openly-developed eclipse.org project. More... |
