InterStream JaDE 1.0
- Java Dialog Editor
($39.95)
Company: InterStream, Inc.
(Austin, TX)
Telephone: (512) 434-3477
Fax: (512) 434-3477
E-mail: sales@i-stream.com
URL: http://www.i-stream.com/jade.html
Platforms: Java
Description:
This Java dialog editor, written entirely in Java, is for Java
developers on all platforms. It is used to create user interface
classes for Java applets and applications. By providing a WYSIWYG
method of laying out components within a dialog, programmers can
concentrate on the underlying logic behind the controls, rather than
the code needed to position them correctly. The application is
packaged as three components -- a Panel Editor, Control Palette, and
Code Editor. From within JaDE, the user can define controls, position
them within the panel, and attach code to particular controls and
events without having to deal with the mechanics of event handling.
The usable output from the application is Java source code for a class
which, when instantiated, will produce the desired user interface.
Panel Editor: dialogs make use of Java's GridBag layout manager to
position controls created with the Control Palette. The Panel Editor
creates and manipulates rows and cells, and position controls to
create a new dialog. It also previews the completed dialog before
generating source code. Control Palette: creates and modifies many
different types of controls to use in the Panel Editor, and sets
various properties, including size, text, alignment, border and
expansion for each control. Code Editor: attaches Java code to
events for controls, to edit additional methods and instance variables
to be included in the output class, code to execute when the panel is
first created, but before it is displayed, code to execute when the
Applet, Frame or Runnable Frame is destroyed, and add additional
import statements.

Product:
NEONet
- intelligent message-oriented middleware
Company: New Era of Networks, Inc. (NEON)
(Englewood, CO)
Telephone: (303) 486-9348
E-mail: info@neonsoft.com
URL: http://www.neonsoft.com
Description:
NEONet is intelligent message-oriented middleware that facilitates
integration of legacy and new business applications, including
communication via S.W.I.F.T., without a significant programming
effort. NEONet provides multi-vendor computing environments with
message delivery, sequence, and uniqueness. SunGard Financial
Systems, Inc. (SFS), a provider of proprietary investment support
systems for banks, brokerage and insurance companies, is now a NEON
Value Added Reseller (VAR). SunGard plans to use NEONet initially as
an integration solution with its Global Securities Manager (GSM)
product, a multi-platform, multi-RDBMS product. GSM is a
multi-currency portfolio accounting system marketed globally to bank
Capital Markets groups. The ability to integrate GSM with other bank
systems is integral to the success of the product and to the success
of GSM users. NEONet provides the GSM customer base with a mechanism
for integrating these global systems.
Product:
SSLava Toolkit
- implementation of Java Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol
($995)
Company: Phaos Technology
(New York, NY)
E-mail: info@phaos.com
URL: http://www.phaos.com
Platforms: Java
Description:
An implementation of Netscape's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0
protocol enabling developers to create cryptographically secure
network solutions in the Java programming language. This is a
plug-and-play library that provides SSL communications capability in
Java, enabling secure Java applications for online banking, electronic
commerce, groupware, communications, and entertainment applications.
The toolkit provides building blocks for constructing SSL
3.0-compliant client/server Java applets and applications. Among its
features are: the complete SSL 3.0 protocol, a cryptographic/security
library that includes the DES and triple-DES ciphers, and the MD5 and
SHA hash functions, server and client authentication, an ASN.1
encoding and decoding toolkit, and X.509 certificates. It is written
completely in Java, without using native methods, and is directly
portable to all Java platforms. Its network API is virtually
identical to the standard Java network API, so that developers can
build secure applets and applications easily.
Product:
WebObjects Enterprise 3.0
- Suite of integrated development tools
(seats start at $4,999)
Company: NeXT Software, Inc.
(Redwood City, CA)
Telephone: (800) TRY-NeXT
E-mail: info@next.com
URL: http://www.next.com
Platforms: Windows NT, Solaris, OPENSTEP/Mach
Description:
A suite of integrated development tools including the WebObjects
Builder graphical development environment and support for
browser-based components. Binds client-side components to
server-based enterprise applications. Developers can use traditional
HTML-based forms or browser-based applets to connect to applications
running on the server. Browser-based component support enables
developers to create applications where the processing is balanced
between Web client components and application servers, decreasing the
need for entire page redisplay. The development environment includes
many pre-built client and server components which can extend
traditional client/server systems to the Web. Creates SQL for
flexible access to enterprise corporate data. Develops global
Internet, corporate intranet or business-to-business Web applications.
Standard features: browser independence (Netscape Navigator,
Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc); client language independence with
support for HTML, Java Applets, JavaScript, and ActiveX Technologies;
heterogeneous database support including Informix, Sybase, Oracle, and
ODBC; enterprise application interoperability, with support for OLE,
CORBA 2.0, Perl, C, C++, and Objective-C applications; and standard
Web server support via NSAPI, ISAPI, and CGI.
Product:
Weltest 200
- Numerical Well Test Analysis Software
Company: GeoQuest
(Houston, TX)
Telephone: (713) 513-2000
Fax: (713) 513-2017
E-mail: info@houston.geoquest.slb.com
URL: http://www.slb.com/ar94/html/geoquest.html
Platforms: Unix, Windows
Description:
Numerical and analytical well test analysis. Improves reservoir
characterization through the application of numerical processes to
well test data. Used to analyze tests in reservoirs with geological
structures, well geometries and multiphase fluid effects that are too
complex to respond to conventional analytical well test techniques.
Reduces the cycle time for well test interpretation and for single
well simulations. Validates raw well test data, conducts conventional
analytical analyses and prepares a numerical model. Using the ECLIPSE
simulator, it sets up mathematical models of the regions of the
reservoir to be tested. This technique also takes into account all
available geological and fluid data. The complexity of real life
reservoirs is addressed by the use of perpendicular bisection (PEBI)
gridding techniques. This supports accurate representation of the
reservoir structure while making the gridding process transparent to
the user. It offers a comprehensive range of models for well test
analysis including line fitting and type curve matching. Uses the
ECLIPSE reservoir simulator to numerically solve well tests. This
makes it easier for engineers not typically familiar with reservoir
simulation to take advantage of the ECLIPSE simulation technology.
