Master Presentation on Java for Simulation and Education

Java appears to offer a good compromise between C++ and Fortran with both high performance and attractive object oriented features and will be learnt by the next generation as their first language It can be basis of far more attrative parallel computing environments than previous "stand-alone top of the pyramid" systems

Java Collaboration Systems promise to add to Web dissemination of material (which we review) interactive linkage of teachers and students -- the missing link

TANGOsim links concepts with a discrete event simulator integrated into collaboration environment Supports Computational Steering
