Hello everybody !!!! An intern in my lab just finished his project, which consisted in both a theoretical work and a lot of Java source code, meant to simulate various things... - He had to work on networks, and so had to define a library with Graphs to work with ( already defined in Sage ) - He had to solve linear programs, and so had to build links between Java and a LP solver ( being reviewed at the moment ) - He also had to do a lot of computations, sometimes having problem with numerical precision ( much easier in Sage ), he had to plot things, etc, etc...
I thought it would be a good idea to ask his advisor to have the next intern work on Sage instead of Java as it would save them a lot of time and make their code much more efficient, BUT : The thing is that he also wrote in Java an interface for all of his computations ( a very neat thing ), and this is something I would not know how to do in Sage. He had a lot of buttons starting/stopping computations, logs printed everywhere, etc. Well, I obviously couldn't have asked him to do THIS in sage. So my question is the following : there seem to be ways in Sage to compute things remotely, as we already have a notebook which uses Sage to computes its result. Then, there should be a not-so-different way for external applications to call Sage and use its results ? In this situation, the intern would just have to build the interface, then compute all which is needed with the help of Sage, benefiting from all that is already inside it ! There should be an easy way to send/receive informations with this server for Sage to be a good alternative... Well, perhaps the "server" mode is not the best idea, and perhaps the would be a way to use Sage as a library... I don't know and I trust you for this.... If I am just asking for something that is already available, though, it seems clear we need a very good documentation about it !!! :-) Thank youuuuuu !!!!
