Software Catalog
Faculty, staff and students of the Computer Science Department produce software: research prototypes, support software, visualization and demonstrational software, games and more. Most such software is owned and copyrighted by Brown University. It is the Department's policy to share such intellectual products freely. To that end, we maintain an anonymous ftp archive.This page lists these software products along with descriptions, references and pointers to the sources.
