COBEA is an algorithm for studying betatron oscillations in storage rings, based only on closed-orbit response matrices and the trivial information of monitor-corrector ordering ("no lengths, no strengths") around the beam path. For more information, there is an IPAC paper [1] and my PhD thesis [2].
The cobea module for Python and its documentation can be downloaded at github [3]. Further usage of COBEA for orbit correction purposes is investigated by my colleague S. Kötter [4].

I have been thinking about orbit diagnostics since my Diploma thesis, and after a year or two, i was able to contribute an article [5] about a new diagnostics routine (which then evolved [6] and later became a sub-algorithm of COBEA).
Computation of longitudinal and transverse resistive-wall impedances for the insertion regions [7].
I was able to contribute some ideas during the design process of the bERLinPro [8] and BESSY VSR [9] cavities. The idea of using cubic Bezier splines [10] has also been further investigated by my colleague B. Isbarn [11] and was mentioned in a systematical cavity study [12].
