Open Source Data Visualization Software

DSOL is a full featured multi-formalism, distributed simulation environment developed at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). DSOL has support for discrete event and for continuous modeling. Formalisms supported are event scheduling, DEVS, flow-based simulation, and continuous modeling through sets of differential equations. The first release was introduced at IEEE's Winter Simulation Conference in 2002. Since then, numerous papers and PhD dissertations have been developed, with applications in the fields of transportation and traffic, logistics, supply chain management, gaming and training, health care, and many others.

Free, easy to use, excel tool to create data and process flow diagrams with table data In separate excel sheets you define items(nodes), lines(edges) and grouping(clusters) Separate definition of node, edge and cluster styles Graph settings sheet Output control sheet Examples and readme are included in the zip file Get it working: -Install graphviz (http://graphviz.org/Download.php) -Download Excel to Graphviz -Open one of the ExcelToGraphviz workbooks -Go to sheet settings and update "dotpath" to where graphviz' dot.exe was installed (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe) -Generate the flow diagram with cntrl-M -Import from older version with cntrl-I This tool was initially made to show the usefulness of a service registry or service catalog in an enterprise integration environment. Therefore most examples are (anonymized) output of its use with ESB's at various telecom, banking and logistics companies Review/Feedback appreciated
