Design Patterns for Escience Mixed media product
by Henry Gardner, Gabriele Manduchi
Part of the Texts in Computational Science and Engineering series
Mixed media product
Description
This is a book about a code and about coding. The code is a case study which has been used to teachcourses in e-Science atthe Australian NationalUniv- sity since 2001.
Students learn advanced programming skills and techniques TM in the Java language.
Above all, they learn to apply useful object-oriented design patterns as they progressively refactor and enhance the software.
We think our case study,EScope, is as close to real life as you can get!
It is a smaller version of a networked, graphical, waveform browser which is used in the control rooms of fusion energy experiments around the world.
It is quintessential “e-Science” in the sense of e-Science being “computer science and information technology in the service of science”.
It is not, speci?cally, “Grid-enabled”, but we develop it in a way that will facilitate its deployment onto the Grid.
The standard version ofEScope interfaces with a specialised database for waveforms, and related data, known asMDSplus.
On the acc- panying CD, we have provided you with software which will enable you to installMDSplus,EScope and sample data ?les onto Windows or Linux c- puters.
There is much additional software including many versions of the case study as it gets built up and progressively refactored using design patterns.
There will be a home web-site for this book which will contain up-to-date information about the software and other aspects of the case study.
