Scilab is produced within
DIGITEO
by the Scilab Consortium and thus takes advantage of an exceptional environment
for its development.

New trends around Scilab
Scilab/Scicos code generator for DSP/micro controller
Using the
Scilab/Scicos FLEX Toolbox
(now update to the last Scilab 4.1.2) it is possible
to automatically generate code from Scicos diagrams
to fast prototype digital control systems for micro
controller and DSP embedded application.
This work has been done by Evidence (Italy) in collaboration with Simone Mannori (INRIA Roquencourt, Fr)
and Roberto Bucher (SUPSI Lugano, Ch).
Embedding Scilab/Scicos
Scilab-EMB
is the porting of the complete Scilab 4.x
platform on a Linux OS optimized for embedded PC based
on ARM processor. The full documentation of the project
it is available on the
web site
maintained by Zhe Peng (Cn) and Longhua Ma (Cn).
Parallel execution
on clusters and desktop grids
ProActive is the Java GRID middleware library for parallel, distributed and multi-threaded computing.
The goal of the
ProActive Interface
is to equip Scilab with a
generic interface
to Grid computing.
This extension has to allow the deployment of Scilab instances
on several nodes of the grid, to use these instances like computing engines,
and to submit Scilab tasks over the grid.
Scilab in european and national projects
hArtes
Scilab takes part in European project named
hArtes
funded by FP6 call5 Embedded Systems. hArtes aims to lay
the foundation for a new holistic (end-to-end) approach
for complex real-time embedded system design, with the
latest algorithm exploration tools and reconfigurable
hardware technologies.
From the application point of view, the complexity of
future multimedia devices is becoming too big to design
monolithic processing platforms. This is where the hArtes
approach with reconfigurable heterogeneous system becomes
vital.
SCOS
Investments in industries and research labs are done too many times in the
scientific computing area. Therefore,
SCOS
will propose to build up the
necessary frame to make it easy through interoperability, open standards
(for open or commercial applications) and using some Open Source easy-to-use
tools.
Scientific Computing has to enter the world of industrialized solutions.
Shared standards and interoperability should be the rule, no the exception any.
This is the aim of the SCOS project: make the scientist's life easiest, sharing
tools and results with its colleague when needed.
OMD
The Multidisciplinary Optimization project
(
OMD)
is an initiative gathering
public laboratories and companies around the optimization of complex systems.
This project is supported by the participants and the National Agency of French
Research / National Network of Software Technologies (ANR/RNTL).
Exploratory project OMD proposes the development of tools for collaborative
and robust optimization. These tools will be validated on three real cases
in aircraft, space and automobile industries. They will be available as Scilab toolbox.
Scilab used in Eurocodes
The French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Town and Country Planning
advises, for research departments and for public construction & building sector, to employ Scilab to get used to the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes are a new set of European structural design codes for building and civil engineering works.

Scilab toolboxes
Scilab is an open source software. There are many ways to contribute to Scilab,
and users are invited to share their experience of Scilab by submitting their
own functions, toolboxes, documentation, user guides, translations etc.
Your contribution to Scilab is welcome.

dedicated web pages.
Scicos: Scilab's block diagram modeler/simulator

Developped by Metalau research-team, from
INRIA
Paris - Rocquencourt research center, Scicos is a graphical dynamical system
modeler and simulator toolbox.
Scicos is used for applications in control, communication, signal processing,
queuing systems, electromechanical, physical and biological systems.
With Scicos you can create block diagrams to model and simulate the dynamics
of hybrid dynamical systems and generate standalone C source code.
Note that Scicos is delivered into Scilab.
