In the Classroom
As discussed in brief in the main documentation, IUCBRF can also be applied in a classroom setting. For details, see:

Obtaining the Framework
If you agree to the license, feel free to contact Steven Bogaerts and request a copy of the code. In your request, please indicate:

1) Whether you would like just the jar file or also access to the CVS repository
2) The nature of your project

It would also be greatly appreciated if you sent occasional brief updates on your use of the framework, including functionality you found particularly useful, anything you feel is crucial that is missing, and any enhancements you may have made. Notification is especially requested if the framework is used for published research (use of the framework should be cited, as stated in the license).

Downloads
IGLU - A small amount of functionality from the IGLU package is required by the framework. Follow the link for details and to download the code, or simply use iglu.jar included in the IUCBRF code.
