About DataMelt

The original author of DataMelt ("DMelt") is Dr. Sergei Chekanov who has started this project in 2005 at the DESY laboratory (Germany). At that time it was called jHepWork (2005-2013), and later - SCaVis (2013-2015). He is still making decisions about the integration of the DMelt core package with 3rd party numerical libraries. He releases the community version of DMelt by incorporating free scientific packages from more than 100 Java developers around the world.
