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 o ers good performance, excellent user interfaces, and the advantages of object-oriented structure.
