Bio7: A Free IDE for Ecological Modelling
The application Bio7 is a free and open-source integrated development environment for ecological modeling, scientific image analysis and statistical analysis
It contains powerful tools for model creation, scientific image analysis and statistical analysis.
The application itself is based on an RCP-Eclipse-Environment (Rich-Client-Platform) which offers a huge flexibility in configuration and extensibility because of its plug-in structure and the possibility of customization.
