What does GENIUS means ?

GENIUS means GENeration of Interface for Users of Scientific S/W.

Why GENIUS ?

In Java world, basic tools, as swing, may become relatively complex to use because it stays at a certain low level (on the opposite, it allows to do a lot of things). Moreover, GUI for flight dynamics tools (or, more generally, scientific tools) need most of the time :

  • To enter input (numerical) data from the screen or the keyboard
  • To read / write these data into files
  • To execute computation thanks to these data,
  • To visualize results

So, GENIUS, is a CNES higher level layer based on swing, fully written in Java (no need of code generation) but allowing to create more easily such GUI.

Main advantages

  • Simplified approach, in particular about events management (BEFORE, AFTER)
  • Performing conditional display
  • Read/write for files directly integrated
  • Units management
  • Process management compatible of all OS (thanks to Java).
