COMPANIES

Microsoft has contributed its Microsoft Scan Service Definition Version 1.0, a Web services protocol specification for consumer scanning peripherals, to the Printer Working Group, a program of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization. Microsoft said this would make it easier for partner companies to have their products be interoperable across multiple platforms.

Codice Software, a provider of software products to strengthen application development, said that its Plastic SCM software configuration management product would be used for the Web site of a charity that benefits an orphanage in Awasa, Ethiopia.

Open-source database management software provider Ingres created three programs to promote open-source adoption: the Global Ingres University Alliance, the Janitors Project and Open Source Boot Camp. The Janitors Project is a forum for new Ingres community members, while Open Source Boot Camp introduces university students and staff to open-source concepts. The Global Ingres University Alliance is an alliance with universities in Canada and Europe to drive open source.

NEW PRODUCTS

LDRA announced the launch of TBvision, a testing and reporting tool that provides what the company called the “most comprehensive C and C++ coding standards enforcement available.”

Virtualization company Xenocode launched its flagship Xenocode Virtual Application Studio, an application virtualization environment that allows Java-, .NET- and Windows-based desktop applications to be deployed in standalone form. Company executives said the studio allows users to run legacy applications without errors on Windows Vista, and to use multiple versions of applications, such as different releases of Microsoft Office.

UPDATES

Gomez has announced that its ExperienceFirst application platform for Web development now works with Internet Explorer 8 beta 1.

Sybase iAnywhere announced RFID Anywhere 3.5, an update to its infrastructure toolkit that works with Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2008, and is expected to be available this month.

Open Kernel Labs announced an update to its OKL4 open-source microkernel, which is based on the company’s Secure HyperCell operating environment for mobile devices.

Indigo Rose added the ability to leverage Microsoft’s Windows Installer XML compiler technology in the latest release of its MSI Factory intelligent setup build product for Windows. This ability in MSI Factory 2.0 gives developers easy access to the technology that Microsoft uses internally for creating installers for Microsoft Office and other products, Indigo Rose executives said.
