12. Conclusions / Final remarks
1. A first κΠΔΧ alpha version is in production and
CS and MPL students are working on
improvements.
2. The code is open source (GPL v2 - github)
3. The idea is to complement it via final projects,
innovation calls (perhaps), croudsourcing (who
knows), etc.
4. κΠΔΧ might:
–
–
–
give academia a new possible learning resource,
improve the external visibility of our university, and
even help some people.
