Concurrent engineering of an object-oriented particle-in-cell simulations environment for physicists

ABSTRACT

This paper reports on an ongoing research effort that is being jointly conducted by faculty and students at the CS Department at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia, and by faculty and students at the EECS Department at UC Berkeley, California. The research is aimed at developing an Object-Oriented modeling environment for Particle In Cell plasma simulations.
