XMLlab is an XML-based simulation authoring environment. The proposed
description language allows to describe mathematical objects such as systems of
ordinary differential equations, systems of non-linear equations, partial
differential equations in two dimensions, or simple curves and surfaces. It
also allows to describe the parameters on which these objects depend. This
language is independent of the software and allows to ensure a relative
perennity of authors work, as well as collaborative work and content reuse.
The simulation is written in XML, according to the DTD file, then transformed
into a Scilab-executable file (Scilab is a Matlab-like software, free
scientific software package, produced by the INRIA).

You can have a more precise idea of the dtd by looking at the file xmllab.pdf
in the "documentation" sheet (the paper is written in French and has been
accepted to the conference 'TICE 2004').

I finally got around to poking at XMLlab and I think it's tremendous.
It may take forever and a day to catch on, at least if people are as
slow as I am, but it's a terrific idea.  I congratulate you guys for
conceiving it and I thank you for implementing it.


I've been casting around for a long time for some portable way to
incorporate data, processing, and graphics in a self-contained, unit
to make a useful scientist's electronic notebook.  I thought just an
image of some processed result wouldn't be good enough because you
could never modify it or verify it later, and the software that made
the figure might even vanish at some point.  With your scheme we could
put the data and all the processing details into an xml file that
could be re-executed years later with possibly a different numerical
software package or modified by a student, etc.  (I realize this all
falls trivially from your idea but it's still new to me and I hope
you'll pardon my enthusiasm.)

We've just started using XML for data encapsulation and I'm determined
to make use of your tool as soon as possible.  (Which may be months,
but I'll get there.)

Thanks very much for XMLlab.

I use it for physics education. Thank very much.		

Blazej is right, but the actual documentation (in French) 
will be translated to english soon.		

I used it to present alliasing effect in DSP. Thanks. It would be better if
there were more documentation to read.
