Valgrind: Valgrind is an award-winning instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. You can also use Valgrind to build new tools.
KCachegrind - KDE Profiling Frontend: Profiling Visualization.
The profiling tool Callgrind (previously called Calltree) and the profile data visualization KCachegrind.

The data files generated by Callgrind can be loaded into KCachegrind for browsing the performance results.
sysprof: 'sysprof' is a sampling CPU profiler that uses a kernel module to profile the entire system (not just a single application). It handles shared libraries, and applications do not need to be recompiled. It profiles all running processes, has a GUI, shows the time spent in each branch of the call tree, and can load and save profiles.

VCG Overview - Visualization of Compiler Graphs: The VCG tool reads a textual and readable specification of a graph and visualizes the graph. If not all positions of nodes are fixed, the tool layouts the graph using several heuristics as reducing the number of crossings, minimizing the size of edges, centering of nodes.
Call Graph Drawing Interface: The tool creates a graph with function names and call arcs. Uses gprof and VCG.
AT&T Labs Research - Software Tools
GraphViz: Graph Visualization Software
The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. (Graphviz also supports GXL, an XML dialect.)
claribole.net - ZGRViewer: ZGRViewer is a 2.5D graph visualizer implemented in Java and based upon the Zoomable Visual Transformation Machine. It is specifically aimed at displaying graphs expressed using the DOT language from AT&T GraphViz and processed by programs dot or neato. ZGRViewer is designed to handle large graphs, and offers a zoomable user interface (ZUI), which enables smooth zooming and easy navigation in the visualized structure.
CodeViz: A call graph generation utility for C/C++. This project provides the ability to generate call graphs to aid the task of understanding code. It uses a highly modular set of collection methods and can be adapted to support any language although only C and C++ are currently supported. Uses GraphViz.
Dia a drawing program: Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits.
Dia2Code: Dia2Code is a small utility used to generate code from a Dia UML class diagram.
GGobi data visualization system.: GGobi is an open source visualization program for exploring high-dimensional data.

GNU GLOBAL source code tag system: GNU GLOBAL is a source code tag system that works the same way across diverse environments. You can locate a specified object in the source files and move there easily. It is useful for hacking a large project containing many subdirectories, many #ifdef and many main() functions. It is similar to ctags or etags but is different from them at the point of independence of any editor.
Related sites: GLOBAL related tools. Generally useful in development, also without GLOBAL.
Source-Navigator(TM): Source-Navigator is a source code analysis tool. With it, you can edit your source code, display relationships between classes and functions and members, and display call trees. You can also build your projects, either with your own makefile, or by using Source-Navigator's build system to automatically generate a makefile. Source-Navigator works with the Insight GUI interface for GDB.
Source code navigation tools: This page is a log of an investigation Greg Lehey made of source code navigation and analysis packages in June and July 2005. It will necessarily remain incomplete, but he may update it. He started the investigation because he was in the position of needing to cut a large program into two halves and insert a clean API between them. To do this he needed to get a good understanding of how the control flow works, and he was looking for tools that might help him.
Survey of source code comprehension tools: Information about and links to some tools/software that make a code maintainer's job (and a developer's job too!) easier. All software mentioned support the C programming language and may support other languages too.
Taskjuggler - The Open Source Project Management Software: TaskJuggler provides an optimizing scheduler that computes your project time lines and resource assignments based on the project outline and the constrains that you have provided. The build-in resource balancer and consistency checker offload you from having to worry about irrelevant details and ring the alarm if the project gets out of hand.
tjweb - Summary [Gna!]: tjweb is a web interface for the project management tool TaskJuggler. Its purpose is to provide an http interface to edit taskjuggler tjp files.
GnoTime - The Gnome Time Tracker: The Gnome Time Tracker is a to-do list/diary/journal tool that can track the amount of time spent on projects, and, among other things, generate reports and invoices based on that time. It's being used it to keep shopping lists, organize ideas, track bug reports, keep a diary of activities, do some blogging, provide weekly status reports to management, and even as a consultant billing system.

WIPO recommends the use of YU instead of CS until the ISO 3166/MA has taken a final decision (PDF): The ISO-3166/MA decision to reuse CS (formerly Czechoslovakia) for "Serbia and Montenegro" was rather short-sighted. This WIPO recommendation of 25 November 2003 says how to deal with such a bad idea.
Note: this is rather historical, as the situation won't change anymore and CS is more widely supported now.

Character Sets

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG3 - 7 and 8-bit coded character sets: WG3 is a standardization Working Group of the SC2 which is a SubCommittee of JTC1 - a Joint Techical Committee of ISO and IEC.
WG3 works on 7-bit and 8-bit codes and their extensions. Examples of coded character sets made by WG3 are the ISO/IEC 8859 parts and the ISO 6429 coded control character set.
A registry of coded character sets is maintained under WG3 supervision by IPSJ/ITSCJ in the ISO 2375 registry.

Gwydion Dylan: Overview

Dylan is an advanced, object-oriented, dynamic language which supports the rapid development of programs. When needed, the programmer can later optimize [his or her] programs for more efficient execution by supplying type information to the compiler. Nearly all entities in Dylan (including functions, classes, and basic data types such as integers) are first class objects. Additionally Dylan supports multiple inheritance, polymorphism, multiple dispatch, keyword arguments, object introspection, and many other advanced features...
