Javron
purpose
The purpose of this Java application is to simulate a very simple biological
nevral network, by using a fairly simple graphical user interface.
background
This program was my first major undertaking in the Java world, and formed the
backbone of my cand scient thesis titled: "En simulator for små nevrale nettverk".
The work on this program was started in 1996/1997, and was seemingly working
before I graduated in 2000.
The code is, however, rather naive and not very professional.
Having worked with large J2EE application over the past 4 years, I am now making
an attempt to reorganize the code and making it more robust.
Unfortunately I have forgotten a lot of the theory, and the docs could have
been.. uhm.. better!
external software
The inner workings of Javron is built on a more or less straight Java port
of Joe Strout's C++ library called "Conical"
The java source code, obviously called "Jonical", can be found
here as a zipfile.
It may or may not compile, and may or may not work as expected.
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! :-)
how to use Javron
You need a JVM (a Java Virtual Machine) installed properly. If you don't have one, you
can download one free from SUN's website: here
I will not discuss further how to set up Java on your system, you figure that out yourself!
Download the Javron binary
note that this is the "old" version. The structurally new version will
be made available with source code as soon as it is halfway decent.
Open a command prompt and type: java -jar javrobin.jar
If you are lucky it may even work... have fun!
