A Java collaborative interface for genetic programming applications: image analysis for scientific inquiry

Abstract

Discusses several key issues involved in designing and using a Java collaborative interface for genetic programming applications over the World Wide Web. We present our implementation that has been used in a new system that assists scientists in classifying and extracting novel features in remotely sensed satellite imagery. This paper also identifies issues in developing a class library that facilitates rapid prototyping of such collaborative graphical user interfaces for genetic programming, and suggests how other researchers could benefit from them.
