Migrating Mathematical Programs to Web Interface Frameworks Submitted by Hsuan-Ming Chen Submitted at Research Institute for Symbolic Computation Supervisor Prof. Wolfgang Schreiner Migrating April 2019 Mathematical Programs to Web Interface Frameworks Master Thesis to obtain the academic degree of Master of Science in the Master’s Program Internationaler Universitätslehrgang: Informatics: Engineering & Management JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at DVR 0093696 ABSTRACT A mathematical software system, the RISC Algorithm Language (RISCAL), has been implemented in Java; however, it can be only executed on the local machine of the user. The aim of this master thesis is to migrate RISCAL to the web, such that users can access the software via a conventional web browser without needing a local installation of the software. In a preparatory phase, this thesis evaluates various web interface frameworks and how these can be executed on the web. Based in the result of this investigation which compares the advantages and disadvantages of the frameworks, one framework is selected as the most promising candidate for future work. The core of the thesis is then the migration of RISCAL to the web on the basis of this framework and the subsequent evaluation of how the demands have been met and how well all of the RISCAL programs are working after the migration. April 4, 2019 Hsuan-Ming Chen 2/85 ACKNOWLEDGMENT First of all, I am grateful to Professor Bruno Buchberger for providing the opportunity to attend this program and giving every resource and help which he can support. Second, I am truly thankful to my advisor, Professor Wolfgang Schreiner, for offering me everything I need and solving the issues which I encountered during the research. Third, I appreciate having all the assistance from the assistant of the program, Betina Curtis, who assists me to deal with the administrative work. Finally, I want to express my sincere appreciation to my parents for always supporting me. The success of this thesis is indispensable without them.

  • Customizing Eclipse RCP Applications Techniques to Use with SWT and Jface
    Customizing Eclipse RCP applications Techniques to use with SWT and JFace Skill Level: Intermediate Scott Delap ([email protected]) Desktop/Enterprise Java Consultant Annas Andy Maleh ([email protected]) Consultant 27 Feb 2007 Most developers think that an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application must look similar in nature to the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE). This isn't the case, however. This tutorial will explain a number of simple techniques you can use with the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and JFace to create applications that have much more personality than the Eclipse IDE. Section 1. Before you start About this tutorial This tutorial will explain a number of UI elements that can be changed in Eclipse RCP, JFace, and SWT. Along the way, you will learn about basic changes you can make, such as fonts and colors. You will also learn advanced techniques, including how to create custom wizards and section headers. Using these in conjunction should provide you the ability to go from a typical-looking Eclipse RCP application to a distinctive but visually appealing one. Prerequisites Customizing Eclipse RCP applications © Copyright IBM Corporation 1994, 2008. All rights reserved. Page 1 of 40 developerWorks® ibm.com/developerWorks You should have a basic familiarity with SWT, JFace, and Eclipse RCP. System requirements To run the examples, you need a computer capable of adequately running Eclipse V3.2 and 50 MB of free disk space. Section 2. Heavyweight and lightweight widgets Before diving into techniques that can be used to modify SWT, JFace, and Eclipse RCP in general, it's important to cover the fundamental characteristics of SWT and how they apply to the appearance of the widget set.

  • 1 Introducing Symfony, Cakephp, and Zend Framework
    1 Introducing Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. — Victor Hugo WHAT’S IN THIS CHAPTER? ‰ General discussion on frameworks. ‰ Introducing popular PHP frameworks. ‰ Design patterns. Everyone knows that all web applications have some things in common. They have users who can register, log in, and interact. Interaction is carried out mostly through validated and secured forms, and results are stored in various databases. The databases are then searched, data is processed, and data is presented back to the user, often according to his locale. If only you could extract these patterns as some kind of abstractions and transport them into further applications, the developmentCOPYRIGHTED process would be much MATERIAL faster. This task obviously can be done. Moreover, it can be done in many different ways and in almost any programming language. That’s why there are so many brilliant solutions that make web development faster and easier. In this book, we present three of them: Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework. They do not only push the development process to the extremes in terms of rapidity but also provide massive amounts of advanced features that have become a must in the world of Web 2.0 applications. cc01.indd01.indd 1 11/24/2011/24/2011 55:45:10:45:10 PPMM 2 x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCING SYMFONY, CAKEPHP, AND ZEND FRAMEWORK WHAT ARE WEB APPLICATION FRAMEWORKS AND HOW ARE THEY USED?

Computer Science Department of Computer Science Computer Science Department, Computing and Department, Department, Ebonyi State Engineering, Akanu Ibiam Federal Obong University University, University of Polytechnic, Akwa-Ibom, Nigeria Sunderland, Uwanna, Nigeria UK Nigeria Abstract: Development of web application nowadays can hardly survive without object oriented approach except for the purpose of just information display. The complexity of application development and the need for content organization has raised the need for web application developers to embrace object oriented programming approach. This paper exposes the impact of object oriented programming on web application development. The exposition was done through a detailed study and analysis of information from secondary sources. The internet was usefully employed to access journal articles for both national and international sources. Our study enables web developers and designers to understand web application features, tools and methodologies for developing web application. It also keeps researchers and scholars abreast of the boost which OOP has brought into Web Applications development. Keywords: Object-Oriented Paradigm; Web; Web 2.0; RIAs; URL. 1. INTRODUCTION According to [17], Web Applications are web sites which are designers to understand web application features and popular dynamic in nature and uses server side programming to allow languages, tools, and methodologies for developing web a good interaction between the user form at the front end, and application. the database at the back-end.
