CS_LITE: A lightweight computational steering system

Computational steering environments (CSEs) allow users to interact with applications executing in batch mode. Interaction with an application includes viewing intermediate results of computations and changing the values of program variables during program execution. Currently, most CSEs available are too applicationspecific and too complicated for the user to learn and use. In this paper, we show that computational steering can be done in a simpler, user-friendlier way. Through the use of a C library, CS_Lite provides users with an easy way of incorporating computational steering in their programs. Users need only to add CS_Lite function calls to their existing programs. In addition, a web-based graphical user interface simplifies the steering process and allows for
