Abstract
Java and Web Technologies for Simulation and Modelling in
Computational Science and Engineering
We discuss the role of Java and Web technologies for general
simulation. We classify the classes of concurrency typical in
problems and analyze separately the role of Java in user interfaces,
coarse grain software integration, and detailed computational kernels.
We conclude that Java could become a major language for computational
science, as it potentially offers good performance, excellent user
interfaces, and the advantages of object-oriented structure.
