Two New Releases of Trace Open-Source URC Software

October 31st, 2006

The Trace Center has released new versions of two components of its open-source software suite on the Universal Remote Console (URC) framework, part of the Center’s continuing R&D on URC technology. The URC Software Development Kit (SDK 3.2) has several new features, including the ability to use non-Java targets, and also includes new tutorial sections. The URC Simulation Environment 3.2 includes a simulated elevator target (written mostly in C) plus other improvements. Source code and binaries of both URC software suite components are available free for download. Developers and researchers are welcome to use these tools as a showcase for the URC technology and for developing their own URC-compliant clients and targets.
