Animations via a WWW servor

For now, the WWW servor is connected to a silent Maple program that issue the sort. The animation got by the user is obtained by modifiyng the ordinary display of CalICo that is setting it to the user adress. In the future, we will automatize the launching and running of CalICo on a user station. We have therefore developed a new functionality of the piloting interface that saves the session. It creates a script shell that can be executed and produces the whole animation:

• launching the graphical interface on the user station,
• launching the program of the algorithm on the server,
• runing the program.

Now the next step will be to connect this shell to a WWW server. Technically, the launching the shell on the user station will be done using java [Fla96] (http://www.LaBRI.U-Bordeaux.FR/~chaumett/java/).
