Dedicated to research into programming topics outside the mainstream.

We are currently focusing on Platypus, an open-source page-layout and typesetting system that generates documents in PDF and HTML, similar to TeX but with different strengths. Although under continuous development since late 2006, Platypus is still in early implementation stages in Java. Additional status information is available by clicking on the Platypus tab.

We are also intensively developing a simple actor library, Sal, to tackle the problem of concurrency in the many-core era.
