2. Architecture of the Visualization WWW server

2. 5. The Visualization server daemon

The daemon running on the visualization server site is implemented in JAVA as well. This JAVA server applet handles the communication with the client applet. It also passes the data to the appropriate visualization routines. Presently, only some demonstrators are implemented. However, any visualization routine which does not require permanent user interaction may easily be integrated into the visualization server. Such visualization methods need not be implemented in JAVA since binding to code written in other languages such as C or C++ is possible. It is also possible to pipe the data to separated processes which perform the visualization.
