Here you will find a list of coldfusion related projects being developed within sourceforge.net.
-
Java and ColdFusion libraries to lookup country code and language from IP address. It uses a local copy of the WHOIS database to perform fast, accurate lookups of country codes. Useful for log analysis, internationalization, geolocation, etc.
-
A compact development framework for Adobe ColdFusion applications, implementing an MVC design pattern for web applications. CFRhino has both an event and extension frameworks allowing it to be fully extended.
-
CFRSS is a fast and adaptable Coldfusion 7 CFC used to parse and create RSS. It is able to handle various formats and can be easily modified to handle new ones.
-

We have been working heads down for the past few months on a new EC FP7 project called SENSEI. The goal of SENSEI is to provide the real-time sensor and actuator dimension of next generation network and service infrastructures. Or as the project website puts it:
In order to realise the vision of Ambient Intelligence in a future network and service environment, heterogeneous wireless sensor and actuator networks (WS&AN) have to be integrated into a common framework of global scale and made available to services and applications via universal service interfaces. SENSEI creates an open, business driven architecture that fundamentally addresses the scalability problems for a large number of globally distributed WS&A devices. It provides necessary network and information management services to enable reliable and accurate context information retrieval and interaction with the physical environment. By adding mechanisms for accounting, security, privacy and trust it enables an open and secure market space for context-awareness and real world interaction.
The tangible outputs of the SENSEI project include:
1) plug and play architecture / protocol
2) open service interface
3) efficient WS&AN island solutions (targeting 5nJ/bit)
4) pan European test platform
Our focus has been on supporting the scenario development and hopefully over the next month or two I will post some the scenarios that we have been finding most interesting. The themes we have been focusing on include Smart City, Healthcare and Transport.
The project fits under Future Internet - ICT Challenge 1: Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures
