Scientific scripting for the java platform with a matlab-like scripting engine
Stergios T. Papadimitriou, D. I. Pappas, Konstantinos Terzidis · 2008
The jLab environment extends the potential of Java for scientific computing. It provides a Matlab/Scilab like scripting language that is executed by an interpreter implemented in the Java language. The paper concentrates on the topic of using the jLab scripting engine from within a pure Java application, in order to allow the application to utilize the scientific scripting potential of jLab and its large scientific libraries. The implementation is inspired by the JSR 223 standard but it is much simpler. To our knowledge, this is the first full Matlab like scientific scripting for Java. The jLab environment is open source and can be downloaded from https://jlab.dev.java.net Key-Words: Java, Scripting, Interpreters, Matlab, Scientific Programming
