Since 2004, we are developping a software plaform, called FluidExponents which fully implements the MMF. FluidExponents serves different purposes and share interesting characteristics:
-
FluidExponents is entirely written Java, and it implements all core MMF functionalities,
-
it comes in two separate entities: a set of Java libraries for development, and a user interface for interacting with the constructs defined from the MMF,
-
it is composed of around 100 000 lines of Java code,
-
it serves as the basis development platform in GEOSTAT.
The use of FluidExponents in GEOSTAT is systematic: all new research results (coming from PhDs for instance) are implemented within it. Functionalities that have a strong potential are implemented in the standard version of FluidExponents.
We show, in figure 6 , a session of FluidExponents using the user interface.

In GEOSTAT, we have the strong intention of consideraly developping the FluidEponents platform, for dissemination and research:
-
A lighter version of FluidExponents is developped to be diffused in the scientific community, for disseminating the implementation and use of the MMF (mainly in the geophysics community),
-
We are currently in the process of making a deposit of FluidExponents.
We are currently in the process of understanding and specification, with our spanish partner, of a commercial implementation and use of FluidExponents, through the possibilities offered by INRIA on the creation of start-ups.
