• ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

  Here are some links to engineering applications written in Java which we have collected over the past few years (let me know if some of the links no longer work):

  
  
  • Simulation of Bay Area Train System.
    
  • Simulation of Nuclear Reactor.
    
  • Bisection Method Tutorial.
    
  • Numerical Integration Tutorial.
    
  • ANL's Interactive WebMap Browser. The page you get lists a number of remediation areas that are active---go to Area 2 Phase I. Under that page choosed the interactive map. Of course your browser needs to be Java enabled for the software to work.
    
  • Simulation of Traffic Lights at an Intersection : An applet for simulating traffic lights at a 4-way traffic intersection. This site has Java source code (check it out!).
    
  • Retirement Calculator Applet : An applet that helps you figure out if your saving enough for your retirement. This site has Java source code (check it out!).
    
  • NanoCAD : NanoCAD uses mathematical techniques of molecular modeling to simulate the behavior of molecules on your web browser. The "Emin" buttons perform energy minimization, that is, they try to nudge the molecule toward a more natural shape where its potential energy will be lower. Real molecules jiggle around their minimal-energy shapes due to thermal vibrations. This site has Java Source code.
    
  • Java Virtual Wind Tunnel.
    
  • One-Dimensional Transient Conduction Problem.
    
  • L-System Applet. L-grammars allow users to create fractal images by specifying parameters. L-system grammars can be used to generate strings, which can be interpreted as drawing commands in order to produce fractal curves (e.g., computer generated images of plants and trees).
    
  • Airport Pattern Simulator . A demonstration program for a simplistic simulation of aircraft arrivals to a single runway.

• XML TECHNOLOGY
  
  
  • Oasis SGML/XML Web Page (large collection of links to XML stuff...)
  • World Wide Web Consortium
  • XML, Java, and the Future of the Web
  • XML Frequently-Asked Questions
  • Welcome to XML School
  • XML Demos at http://www.xml.com
  • XML for Java at IMB Alphaworks
  • IBM XML Web Page
  • Microsoft XML Web Page
  • Web Browser Support for MathML
