This project describes a web-based information management system which has been
widely used by staff members and students at OSU. Without this system, it was very
hard for the staff members to manage a variety of fees; for example, if they want to
change a certain fee, staff members had...
MIDAS is an application framework developed at College of Oceanic and Atmospheric
Science for interactive remote data acquisition and visualization. The objective is to provide
dynamic reconfiguration of the sensing process. The current MIDAS application framework
utilizes the code mobility and portability of Java 2 platform. The Jini technology for...
Events are an important concept in the Microsoft windows operating system. When a
program runs interactively, it uses a user interface or a console to communicate with the
user. Background services, however, do not have such mechanisms; instead, they use
events to notify the user about changes and to report...
Controlling a virtual character with a pen input device is difficult. Pen input
devices require freeform gestures and users are not confined to particular mapping of a
key or a button that is exactly repeatable. This is a problem since an intuitive motion
gesture for one user might not be...
Almost every student in the School of EECS undergoes the process of Blanket Credit
Registration wherein the student has to fill out the form for registration, meet the
concerned professor and obtain his approval. The staff of the department has to maintain
the details of the student and the Professor...
Remote Event Listener(REL) is designed to glue remote events and remote listeners dynamically, and dispatch remote events efficiently and transparently
for distributed object-oriented systems. Components can be independently developed and remotely interconnected with REL, and software reusability can
be improved. Remote Event Listener along with Remote Method Invocation
makes distributed...
The visual programming language Forms/3 currently uses a graphical user interface implemented in Garnet. Garnet was developed by the User Interface Software Group in the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but is no longer supported. This paper presents an implementation of a user interface for Forms/3 written...
This paper describes the design and performance of a distributed, multi-tier architecture for scientific information management and data exploration. A novel aspect of this framework is its integration of Java IDL, the CORBA distributed object computing middleware with JavaBeans, the Java Component model to provide a flexible, interactive framework for...
This is an attempt to increase the power of a spreadsheet and try to use the spreadsheet as a powerful programming tool. The basic idea is to treat each cell of the spreadsheet as an object. The cell (Object) could be programmed, that is, the attributes and the functionality of...
We have developed a framework for Web-based GIS/database (WebGD) applications
that allow users to insert, query, and delete data with map interfaces displayed by Web
browsers. The framework uses such open source software packages as Minnesota
MapServer, PostGIS, and PostgreSQL. With this framework, we can create the map
interface of...
