WIRED - WORLD-WIDE-WEB INTERACTIVE REMOTE EVENT DISPLAY

WIRED (World-Wide Web Interactive Remote Event Display) is a framework , written in the Java(TM) language, for building High Energy Physics e vent displays. An event display based on the WIRED framework enables u sers of a HEP collaboration to visualise and analyse events remotely u sing ordinary WWW browsers, on any type of machine. In addition, event displays using WIRED may provide the general public with access to th e research of high energy physics. The recent introduction of the obje ct-oriented Java(TM) language enables the transfer of machine independ ent code across the Intemet, to be safely executed by a Java enhanced WWW browser. We have employed this technology to create a remote event display in WWW. The combined Java-WWW technology hence assures a worl d wide availability of such an event display, an always up-to-date pro gram and a platform independent implementation, which is easy to use a nd to install.
