Ajax.org PlatForm is a pure javascript application development framework aimed at developers for building applications that run via web browsers, but look and feel like conventional desktop applications. These Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are a combination of the best of both worlds.
Ajax.org PlatForm has the desktop advantages of quick response time—the client handles a majority of the processing load, and generally only a small amount of data must be retrieved from the server (usually from a web service). Furthermore, the data represented on the screen has more density, and does not need to be refreshed— animations and other user cues are possible. Things like drag & drop, right-click menus, property windows, and similar interface items.
They believe Opensource software should be and remain free, and within this context there should be as little limitations as possible for people to utilize the free software. This includes not placing any restrictions on the use of the library in a commercial setting. The LGPL license covers all these requirements.
The Open Source Ajax.org PlatForm offers an innovative new way to develope Internet applications that run on FireFox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.

Chronoscope is an open source release of a charting and visualization platform for GWT, used as the centerpiece of Timepedia’s website. Chronoscope provides a high performance, cross browser platform for visualizing possibly large and complex datasets. It supports interactive framerates on datasets with tens of thousands of points by using multiresolution representation and incremental streaming.
When the number of points about to be plotted exceeds a certain heuristic, Chronoscope falls back to a lower resolution representation of the dataset, which can be provided by the user, or automatically calculated by various filtering algorithms. This is similar to mip-mapping techniques commonly used in 3D graphics to reduce bandwidth and decrease aliasing. It also gives non-programmers intuitive controls over almost every aspect of the look of a visualization.
Requirements: Google Web Toolkit
