Now imagine having hundreds of other educators and computer nerds building over a thousand such widgets that you can download and use for free! But first read their cartoon history http://www.konfabulator.com/cartoon/partOne.html to understand why this is important...and then explore some of the 1350 widgets already developed! These range from the purely fun (penguins waddling across your screen), to the utilitarian (onscreen timekeeper for tracking time you spend on projects; lowest gas prices in your area finder ), to the educational (news feeds in Bulgarian; universal keyboard..to type in any language). There are way too many webcams...and such...but the gems you find are worth the search!Note: Konfabulator is java-based. It is free to download and no longer requires a registration. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=582271 Summary: This paper describes the process of UML modeling for solving the traveling salesman problem using one of the metaheuristic-genetic algorithms. This problem is applicable to navigation systems and transportation networks. Static and dynamic diagrams implemented in developing tools for modeling, as well as a description of specific applications and testing are mentioned. With this approach we describe modeling tool that can be used in the development of specific solutions and a way of establishing explicit links between concepts and execution code. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=529720 example http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=420336 The Web-Based Repository of Software Testing Tools (WReSTT) seeks to provide students and instructors with guided access to vetted software testing tools that will support the development of quality software during their academic training. The project is a collaborative effort between Florida International University, and Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University.
