Construction of e-Learning system with simulation tools developed by integrating Java and symbolic computation software

本研究的目的是通过集成Java和符号计算软件来开发模拟工具，并在电子学习系统上向公众开放。计划如下；1．使用可在网络上进行的符号计算软件开发仿真工具。2．结合符号计算软件和Java语言开发仿真工具。 3．使用个人数字助理 (PDA) 的模拟工具开发电子学习系统。我们在下面更详细地描述。作为模拟工具 1 的示例，我们开发了具有图形用户界面 (GUI) 的 Maplet 应用程序。 Maplet是符号计算软件Maple的软件包之一。这些申请在网站上向公众开放。 http://thomas.phys.cs.is.nagoya-u.ac.jp/Maple/App/作为模拟工具2的示例，我们集成了Java语言和Maple。我们用Java开发了带有GUI的客户端软件，该软件与MapleNet服务器通信进行一些计算。可以进行数值计算、符号计算和MathML 输出。我们让学生开发一些简单的模拟工具，例如那些应用程序作为作业。一些学生对开发这些应用程序感兴趣。课堂上使用的一些指南是向公众开放的。 http://thomas.phys.cs.is.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~nakamura/NetCom/?����。我们还建议了一种集成 Java 和 Maple 来开发模拟工具的替代方法。 Java程序中使用OpenMaple。 3、为了使PDA成为带有模拟工具的e-Learning系统的客户端，我们采用了JSP技术。可以与 MapleNet 服务器通信进行数字或符号计算。任何具有JSP功能的PDA甚至手机都可以进行简单的模拟，该系统有望扩展PDA电子学习系统的可能性。

The purpose of this research is to develop simulation tools by integrating Java and symbolic computation software and open them to the public on the e-Learning system. The plan is as follows ;1. Development simulation tools using symbolic computation software that can be carried out on the web.2. Development simulation tools by integrating symbolic computation software and Java language.3. Development e-Learning system with simulation tools for a personal digital assistant (PDA).We describe in a bit more detail in the following.As an example of simulation tools 1, We developed Maplet applications with graphical user interface (GUI). Maplet is one of the packages of symbolic computation sofutware Maple. Those applications are opened to the public on the web site. http://thomas.phys.cs.is.nagoya-u.ac.jp/Maple/App/As an example of simulation tools 2, we integrated Java language and Maple. We developed client software with GUI by Java and the software carried out some calculations communicating with MapleNet server. Numerical computation, symbolic computation and MathML output are possible. We made students develop some simple simulation tools like those applications as an assignment. Some students got an interest in developing those applications. Some guide used in the class is opened to the public. http://thomas.phys.cs.is.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~nakamura/NetCom/?%BD%E0%C8%F7. We also suggested an alternative way to integrate Java and Maple for developing simulation tools. OpenMaple is used in Java program.As for 3, in order for a PDA be a client of e-Learning system with simulation tools, we adopted JSP technology. Numeric or symbolic calculation is possible communicating with MapleNet server. Any PDA and even a mobile phone which is capable of JSP can carry out a simple simulation and the system is expected to expand the possibility of e-Learning system with PDA.
