Eckhart Köppen

I’m behind most of the stuff behind 40Hz.org. Currently, this site serves as a repository for my current and past open source projects and to promote techniques for platform independent information exchange such as XML.

Projects

Main focus on Active Hypertext Documents, implementations include JKino and Kino runtime environments.

Other

Other areas of interest include the programming languages Eiffel and Lua and the integration tool SWIG.
