Applets designed to provide an interface to other applications and programs for information processing. Based on user selections, a web application can return a computed or customized result. (Spreadsheets, Word Processing, Presentation Packages)
Team Winner : Access Key
This applet is based on VDSI's patented access control technology called the Access Key II(TM). The Access Key II(TM) is a one-time password generator used for extended user authentication. The Key operates as a challenge/response token, where the challenge can be read by the token optically or through keypad entry. Java provides us with the ability to present the optical challenge in a Web document, which can then be used for entry into a secure Web site.

Available in ZIP and TAR format (238 KB)Individual 2nd place Winner : JFS
JFS is a simple network file system protocol for Java applets. Because applets cannot access the local storage of the machine they are running on, any applet that wants to load or save files needs some mechanism for accessing files on the Web server from which the applet was loaded. JFS provides one way for applets to do this.

Available in ZIP and TAR format \(78 KB)Individual 2nd place Winner : ImageButtonApplet
This page describes a set of re-usable classes and sample implementations to create a variety of types of active push buttons with images and animation. The basic design approach was to put as much behavior as possible in classes that could be used in either applets or standalone applications, and then in applet classes which implement all the applet-specific functionality. Each class has been documented using Javadoc.

Some medical imaging modalities (MR, CT, Nuclear Medicine) produce 2D slices of data through a 3D volume. These slices are often resampled into 3 sets of slices (along the X, Y and Z axes) for transmission. Using Java, the original 2D slices can be transmitted once and resampled locally by your browser on the fly. The applets read a single image that is a grid of slices from a 3D dataset. A scaled version of the original is presented in the lower right quadrant of each page.

Available in ZIP and TAR format (930 KB)Individual 2nd place Winner : Traffic Simulation
The applet simulates traffic flow using Java programming language. It takes advantage of multithread, a unique feature function in Java. In particular, three threads operate concurrently to represent (1) the cars, (2) the traffic flow volume and (3) the traffic lights, respectively. More important is that network-oriented Java is able to link information of real-time traffic flow from different locations, which can be used to predict and broadcast short- and long-term traffic status.
