An innovative user interface for fault simulation systems
Pier Luca Montessoro · 2002
Fault simulation is a heavy task, and large experiments may require several hours to complete. So far, therefore, fault simulation has been considered a batch task. In this paper some innovative design concepts for the user interface are presented, to provide easy and powerful control of the experiments. The Creator's user interface is an example of actual implementation. It can control one or more simulation experiments running on the same computer or on different machines in a computer network, and each simulation can be dynamically switched between interactive and batch mode. The system is based on a network communication tool, specially developed, and on the X-11 standard for the graphical features.>
