EMU: reconfigurable graphical user interfaces for Micro-Manager

Background Advanced light microscopy methods are key to many biological studies. Their ease of use depends, besides experimental aspects, on intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUI). The open-source software Micro-Manager offers a universal GUI for microscope control but requires implementing plugins to further tailor it to specific systems. However, GUIs are often tailored to a single system. Since even similar devices can have different Micro-Manager device properties, such as power percentage versus absolute power, directly transferring a GUI to another instrument usually requires changing the source-code. Results We developed Easier Micro-Manager User interface (EMU), a Micro-Manager plugin, to simplify building flexible and reconfigurable GUIs. EMU can be seamlessly used with the Java Swing library to create device-independent GUIs for Micro-Manager. Such GUIs are easily transferred to another microscope thanks to an intuitive configuration menu that includes mapping of the device properties to the GUI functionalities and customization of the graphical elements. We also provide resources such as user and programming guides, a tutorial and code examples. Conclusions Micro-Manager users now have a powerful tool to improve the user experience on their instruments. EMU GUIs can be easily configured for new microscopes and shared with other research groups. In the future, newly developed GUIs will be added to EMU to benefit the whole community.

Library Management System Development Using Java Swing on Eclipse Platform

Library is a fast growing sector. The existing system for maintaining library transactions is not very efficient. For quick retrieval and storage of data is required. An appropriately computerized library will help its users with quick and prompt services. Library automation refers to mechanization of library housekeeping operations largely by computerization. Library Management System (LMS) is an automated system that can be useful to Librarians and the users of a library in any functional organization. Library Management System gives the facility to define the tasks of the librarians and also allows its users to manage their activities to and from the library. A report generation facility is supported in LMS that allow its users to keep an account of their transactions in the library. This tool can help librarians to effectively save time and carry out other important works of the library rather than just looking out after the issuing and returning. This project aims at creation of a Library Log. This project will be accessible to all users of the library and its facility allows librarians to maintain a hassle free database while letting its users to themselves manage their own transactions individually thereby solving all major issues of having a huge database in the form of hard material.

ADM-Based Migration from JAVA Swing to RIA Applications

Companies are investing a lot of resources and effort for migrating their legacy applications and adapting them with the rapid technological changes. For this reason, the authors are interested in the modernization of desktop applications developed in Java Swing to Web 2.0 applications. Therefore, an ADM approach is applied in order to develop a tool named FlexMigration allowing automatic reverse engineering of Swing GUI to obtain a RIA GUI. The usefulness of this tool is the automation of the migration process with the extraction of the actions encapsulated in possible anonymous classes. As an illustration, they present along this paper a reengineering of a small legacy chat application. The authors explain its migration process to generate a similar Flex Graphical User Interface.

Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Layanan Perawatan dan Penitipan Hewan Berbasis SMS Gateway pada Toko Petshop "PetZone"

Teknologi informasi merupakan sebuah kebutuhan manusia yang sangat penting, karena kemajuan zaman segala aktivitas kerja sebagian besar dibantu oleh teknologi informasi. Toko PetZone merupakan salah satu jenis usaha Petshop yang melayani penitipan dan perawatan hewan. Proses bisnis yang dilakukan Toko PetZone masih dilakukan dengan manual seperti contoh pencatatan data-data pelanggan maka kemajuan bisnis yang terjadi menyebabkan timbulnya kebutuhan sistem informasi yang dapat melakukan pencatatan layanan Pethotel, Pethospital, Jadwal kontrol hewan, Petgrooming dan monitoring keadaan hewan. Pengembangan sistem informasi lainnya ialah selain dapat melakukan pencatatan dapat memberikan informasi keadaan atau status hewan yang dititipkan melalui pesan singkat (SMS Gateway) sebagai alternatif baru untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan pelangan kepada Toko PetZone. Maka dari itu penelitian pembangunan aplikasi ini dibuat. Tahapan dalam pembuatan aplikasi ini menggunakan beberapa tahap yaitu studi pustaka, observasi dan bimbingan. Metode yang digunakan dalam perancangan ialah metode waterfall. Metode ini sangat tepat dalam pembuatan aplikasi seperti ini, karena mempunyai alur yang memungkinkan perancangan untuk mengevaluasi aplikasi tanpa harus mengubah dari dasar. Aplikasi sistem penitipan dan perawatan hewan dibangun dengan menggunakan bahasa pemograman Java dan mesin database yang digunakan untuk menyimpan data-data menggunakan MySql Server. Antarmuka aplikasi sistem dibuat dengan GUI Interface yang memanfaatkan librari Java yaitu Java swing. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ialah sebuah aplikasi dekstop yang dapat mencatat layananlayanan yang diberikan Toko PetZone dan meningkatkan kinerja Toko Petzone dan selain itu memberikan alternatif baru untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan pelanggan terhadap Toko Petzone melalui fasilitas monitoring hewan titipan dengan menggunakan pesan singkat (SMS Gateway).

Image Steganography using Java Swing Templates

Multimedia data hiding techniques have developed a strong basis for steganography area with a growing number of applications like digital rights management, covert communications, hiding executables for access control, annotation etc. The advantage of steganography over cryptography alone is that messages do not attract attention to themselves, to messengers, or to recipients. An unhidden coded message, no matter how unbreakable it is, will arouse suspicion and may in itself be incriminating, as in some countries encryption is illegal.

The Design and Research of Telemedicine Consultation System Based in SIP

In this essay ,introduce the design of Telemedicine Consultation System (TCS) ,then describe the chief functions and structure, analyse the key techique to realize the system. Namely with complete SIP protocol mechanisms to realize session and the establishment of termination, media part adopts JMF to realize the audio and video data acquisition, processing, sending and receiving, played, and other functions, graphical interface part adopts Java Swing realization, and image compression and audio, video processing technology.

The Design and Implementation of a Editor that Supports Syntax Highlighting of E-Lotos

Formal methods (FM) are mathematically based techniques that provide a rigorous basis for software development: the application of FMs makes it possible to achieve provable correctness and reliability in the various steps of system design and implementation. Generally, Formal methods need the support of formal description technique (FDT). Because the FDL has strict syntax and semantics. It is the realization of the abstract to the concrete, strictly, can be symbolic execution, unambiguous. E-LOTOS formal description is an important technology. This paper describes the design and the implement of the editor that support syntax highlighting of E-LOTOS. The editor is implemented using java Swing and JFlex.
