- is a Java based, open-source, full-featured 3D scene graph package designed for 3D visualization and specialized in mathematical visualization. It provides several backends, including a JOGL one for Java based OpenGL rendering. JReality is thread-safe, has a flexible shading model based on an attribute-inheritance mechanism in the scene graph, device-independent user interaction and support for true 3D audio (JACK). Furthermore, there are many support classes for transformations and geometry. It has a plugin system for assembling custom viewers, <a href="http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/jreality/phpbb/">an active forum</a> and a growing set of <a href="http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/jreality/mediawiki/index.php/Developer_Tutorial">tutorial examples</a> to help developers interested in using jReality to solve their Java 3D problems.

- Gephi</a> is a visualization and exploration
- platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems,
- dynamic and hierarchical graphs.
+ Gephi</a> is a tool for people that have to explore and understand graphs. Like Photoshop but for data, the user interacts with the representation, manipulate the structures, shapes and colors to reveal hidden properties. The goal is to help data analysts to make hypothesis, intuitively discover patterns, isolate structure singularities or faults during data sourcing. It is a complementary tool to traditional statistics, as visual thinking with interactive interfaces is now recognized to facilitate reasoning. This is a software for Exploratory Data Analysis, a paradigm appeared in the Visual Analytics field of research.
