The G-Net research group at Ball State University previously developed a graph editor, written in Java, with limited algorithm support. This editor was modified until the code had the instability of a legacy system. It was decided that, rather than continue working with the old system, a new version would be created.The enhancements planned for this new version were more efficient data structures, easy addition of new algorithms, and animated algorithm output. Additionally, the new version was to be written in compliance with the latest Java standards. This paper describes the structure of this new program, Jedit3.1. An overview of the structure of the program and detailed descriptions of the material that future programmers will need to understand in order to add new algorithms is included. Appropriate descriptions are included for files that future programmers should understand but not necessarily modify. / Department of Computer Science

There are increasing demands for graphics-oriented software packages for graph theory teaching and research. G-Net, a departmental research project headed by Dr. Jay Bagga, is an effort to create a software package that comprises of a graph database, a graph editor, 'and a collection of graph algorithms. Also, with widespread use of the World Wide Web, the graph editor should be accessible through the Web. Taking these issues into consideration Jedit (Java Graph editor) is developed. This thesis concentrates on the design and implementation of a graph editor and a graph object (Jgraph). Jgraph is developed in java to implement the graph algorithms in future. One of the unique features of this graph editor is that it can be used as stand-alone application or as an applet for the Web. In addition, it also provides a friendly user interface. / Department of Computer Science

C++ is one of the most commonly used programming languages in academic and professional environments. Java is a relatively new language that is rapidly gaining popularity and acceptance. Java's designers claim that Java offers all the functionality of C++ and more. Java's syntax is similar to C++, but Java code is not compatible with C++. Java offers platform independence and better support for internet-oriented applications. Platform independence may come at a price. A major concern regarding any language is performance.This thesis looks at the performance of Java and C++. A comparison is made of C++ and Java runtimes for a simple algorithm (bubblesort). It covers the differences in compilation of an application developed in C++ versus an application developed in Java. It reports the execution time of an algorithm written in both languages. / Department of Computer Science
