Ticra. TICRA (name derived from the last syllable of the first word and first syllable of the second word in Electromagnetic radiation) is a company in Copenhagen, Denmark specializing in antenna analysis and synthesis software as well as related consultancy services. Their signature software is TICRA Tools, which has 6 individual software packages that can be used to perform detailed analysis of various components of modern antenna systems. The packages are :
GRASP (General Reflector Antenna Software Package), which can be used to simulate reflector antenna systems, including struts. GRASP uses Physical Optics (PO), augmented by Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) to account for diffraction effects, as well as Body-of-Revolution Method of Moments (BoR-MoM). 
POS (Physical Optics-based Shaped reflector), which analyses and optimizes shaped reflectors using PO and PTD. POS can also optimize arrays, either directly radiating arrays or in the case of Array-fed Reflectors. 
CHAMP 3D(Corrugated Horn Analysis by Modal Processing), which despite its name can analyse and optimize not just corrugated horns but also smooth horns, as well as filters, diplexers, OMTs and other waveguide components. 
ESTEAM, which is used for general scattering analysis of electrically large structures using a Higher-Order Method of Moments implementation, augmented by the Multi-Level Fast Multipole Method. 
QUPES, which can analyze and optimize quasi-periodic surfaces such as reflect arrays and transmit arrays.
UQ, which (when combined with one of the other packages) can perform uncertainty quantification, computing the effects of manufacturing imprecisions on the final performance of the antenna systems. 

Their software is regarded as the de facto industry standard.

BaseX. BaseX is a native and light-weight XML database management system and XQuery processor, developed as a community project on GitHub. It is specialized in storing, querying, and visualizing large XML documents and collections. BaseX is platform-independent and distributed under the BSD-3-Clause license.

In contrast to other document-oriented databases, XML databases provide support for standardized query languages such as XPath and XQuery. BaseX is highly conformant to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications and the official Update and Full Text extensions. The included GUI enables users to interactively search, explore and analyze their data, and evaluate XPath/XQuery expressions in realtime (i.e., while the user types).

Technologies
 XPath query language
 XQuery 3.1
 XQuery Update (W3C)
 XQuery Full Text (W3C)
 Support for most EXPath/EXQuery modules and packaging system
 Client-Server architecture with user and transaction management and logging facilities
 APIs: RESTXQ, RESTful API, WebDAV, XML:DB, XQJ; Java, C#, Perl, PHP, Python and others
 Supported data formats: XML, HTML, JSON, CSV, Text, binary data
 GUI including several visualizations: Treemap, table view, tree view, scatter plot

Database layout
BaseX uses a tabular representation of XML tree structures to store XML documents. The database acts as a container for a single document or a collection of documents. The XPath Accelerator encoding scheme and Staircase Join Operator have been taken as inspiration for speeding up XPath location steps. Additionally, BaseX provides several types of indices to improve the performance of path operations, attribute lookups, text comparisons and full-text searches.

History
BaseX was started by Christian Grün at the University of Konstanz in 2005. In 2007, BaseX went open source and has been under the BSD-3-Clause license since then.

Supported systems
The BaseX server is a pure Java 1.8 application and thus runs on any system that provides a suitable Java implementation. It has been tested on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and OpenBSD. In particular, packages are available for Debian and Ubuntu.

AFCAA REVIC. AFCAA REVIC is a set of programs for use in estimating the cost of software development projects. The Revised Enhanced Version of Intermediate COCOMO (REVIC) model is a copyrighted program available for public distribution under agreement with the REVIC developer, Ray Kile, and the U.S. Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA). It is distributed by the U.K. Navy Engineering Process Office (EPO).

It implements a modified version of the COCOMO cost model, adding software maintenance, integration, and testing estimation, as well as several cost multipliers specific for military operational environments.

Version history
 Version 8.7 was released in August 1989.
 Version 8.7.7 was released in December 1990.  It added full text editing of input fields, support for full path names when storing or retrieving files, and an ASCII text file output capability.
 Version 9.0 was released in January 1991 at the "REVIC Users Group" meeting in Los Angeles. It included a "fix" to the file saving and retrieval capability when using DOS Version 4.0 and a revised data file format.
 Version 9.01 was released in May 1991.  It includes a conversion utility to convert data files created with earlier versions of REVIC (prior to version 9.0) to the new REVIC 9.0 format.
 Version 9.1 was released in November, 1991.  It is a maintenance update that makes REVIC compatible with MS-DOS 5.0. Previous versions of REVIC will not load files correctly similar to the previous problem with MS-DOS 4.0/4.01.
 Version 9.11 was released on March 18, 1992.  It is a maintenance update that fixes a problem with the number of CSCIs that are saved in the text output file.
 Version 9.2 was released Dec 17, 1994.  Primary differences are a number of new Mode-specific and Domain-specific calibrations for Ada based on data collected in 1994. It replaces the term MANAGEMENT RESERVE FOR Risk with the term PLATFORM.  It also fixes a problem in calculating the schedule and the display of maintenance man-months when the hours/man-month are changed from the default.
