NINES Collex

Collex is an open-source collections and exhibits-builder designed to aid humanities scholars working in digital collections or within federated research environments like NINES. Collex operates under the assumption that the best paths through a complex digital resource are those forged by use and interpretation.

UCanPoopToo!

U-Can-Poop-Too is an Internet intervention for pediatric encopresis (poop accidents). An estimated 2 million children in the United States have encopresis. Performant Software Solutions worked with the researchers at UVA Behavioral Health and Technology to make this project a reality, taking it from a half-finished stage to completion. We also developed a backend solution for administrating online interventions while keeping patient data secure. The software is a combination of Flash and AJAX technologies powered by Ruby on Rails.

Fathom

Fathom is a social networking and "showcasing" application for scholars, projects, and organizations in an academic setting. Represent your work. Visualize and explore relationships. Find research partners. Create community.

Fathom is built in Ruby on Rails and integrates with Wordpress for easy content management and with Relation Browser to visualize connections among people, projects, and organizations. Fathom is being designed for use by the digital humanities community at the University of Virginia, where it is released as UVA's "SHANTI Portal."

Edgecomb's Imported Auto

The Edgecomb's Imported Auto website features an inventory management system, image upload and resize, dynamic PDF file generation for printing, side-by-side comparison of products, personalized sales messages for each vehicle, customizable vehicle features list and more. We collaborated Kristin Adolfson of Still Point Press on this site. Kristin developed the static content and the graphic design and we wrote the software that makes it all work.

Juxta

Juxta is an interactive collation tool. Juxta compares dozens of texts at a time, fluidly changing perspective, taking any of the texts as the base text for comparison. The comparison results are displayed as a "heat map" overlaying the document text. The darker areas show areas where more documents differ. Clicking on a highlighted area brings up a list of the differences at that location. A histogram graph allows the user to quickly locate hot spots in the text. Differences can then be annotated and output in a standard collation format. Juxta can operate on lineated or unlineated text.

Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe allows multiple "players" or research students to undertake a collective investigation of a given text or field of texts by manipulating and transforming the material in order to expose features and meanings that the original text or field of texts ignores, suppresses, or puts at the margin. The playspace licenses imaginative acts of re-interpretation - as if one were to ask: how would Scott's Ivanhoe look if its materials had been so arranged that the novel ended with the marriage of Ivanhoe and Rebecca (an outcome many of its initial readers wanted and thought the novel demanded)? It is a tool ideally suited both for pedagogical and classroom work, and for high-order investigations of difficult literary questions (for instance, how to edit Blake's The Four Zoas). The tool emphasizes and encourages interpretive subjectivity, on one hand, and collaborative interaction on the other. A notable feature of IVANHOE is that players make their interpretive moves not in propria persona but en masque. This procedure multiplies the game's power of self-reflection - one of its signal features.

Aker Wade Feasibility Model

The Aker Wade Feasibility Model is an interactive tool for marketing Aker Wade's power technologies. It allows a salesperson to demonstrate how Aker Wade's power technologies outperform the competition, modelling the actual power scenario of the customer. Calculations take into account the shift schedule of the facility, the number of vehicles it operates and the power requirements of those vehicles.
