Janus is an enterprise-ready open-source multi-agent platform fully implemented in Java 1.6. Janus enables developers to quickly create web, enterprise and desktop multiagent-based applications. It provides a comprehensive set of features to develop, run, display and monitor multiagent-based applications. Janus-based applications can be distributed across a network. Janus is built upon the CRIO organizational metamodel and supports the implementation of the concepts of role and organisation as first-class entities. It also natively manages the concept of recursive agents or holon.
Janus is free for non-commercial use and distributed under the terms of the GPLv3.
Janus is jointly developed by the multiagent teams of the Laboratoire Systèmes et Transports and the Centro de Investigación de Tecnologías Avanzadas de Tucumán

Arakhnê.org is a group of software developers who distribute freely their software.
The main software pieces from Arakhnê.org are basically dedicated to several high-tech tasks. Several examples : autolatex (automatic compilation with LaTeX, supported by the CTAN), bib2ml (ex bib2html, convert BibTeX bibliographical database into HTML pages, supported by the CTAN).
Arakhnê.org also provides packages for non-member softwares, mainly for Debian and Ubuntu Linux operating systems. For instance, Arakhnê.org is one of the providers of the Debian/Ubuntu packages of BOUML, one of the most complete free UML modeler.
