ASD-NETWORKS.COM
You will find a series of interactive examples highlighting the features and functionality of ASD grammars. These demos allow users to be able to view and manipulate ASD grammars using the tools developed by Professor James Mason.
New ASDEditor Java Web Start:
ASDEditor was also migrated to Java Web Start, a technology that is as portable as applets but easier to maintain and control. It is independent of Web browsers and can be launched from any of them.
ASDEvaluator Java Web Start:
ASDEvaluator was migrated to Java Web Start. You must open the expression.grm file via the dialog box that appears when you click "open" in the "Action menu".
ASDTester Java Web Start:
A conversion to Java Web Start technology for ASDTester is accessible from this launch page. Closing the Java Web Start window terminates the application. Java Web Start can be downloaded from the " Java Web Start Technology " page.
ASD SVN Browser:
The ASD Project Subversion server is configured and ready to be used for the open source release of the asd source code under the Apache 2.0 license for open source software.
The repository checkout command is: svn co http://svn.asd-networks.com/svn project_asd .
As you probably know a Subversion client like TortoiseSvn can be easily installed on most Windows OS computers.
Java and Browser Settings:
Browsers impose restrictions on actions downloaded applet code can perform on client machines. As a result some features are not implemented in the demo applets. Browsers must be Java compliant to run the interactive demos. The JRE plugin must be installed and enabled.
You might want to do a fast check to verify that the required software is installed on your computer. You can also use Sun's Java VM test page instead. You can access additionnal notes about running applets using various combinations of browsers and operating systems at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/jvm.html.
In any case, for optimal viewing, browsers must always have Javascript enabled. We have tested the demo applets with IE version 5 and up, Mozilla Firefox and Konqueror on Debian Linux. Please inform us if your browser is not compatible. You might want to read the java system requirements page as well.

Java Web Applets:
The Arithmetic Expression Evaluator uses context-free ASD grammar expression.grm. It can be viewed and tried as a Java applet in a new page. More details can be found on the arithmetic expressions page at Professor Mason's ASD website.
The other interactive demo of Professor Mason's ASD applications is the ASDTester which can be accessed as a Java applet. Particulars of the model are available on the English Examples page at Professor Mason's Augmented Syntax Diagrams website.
About the Site:
We have our own dedicated server set up for asd-networks.com so that we can control accounts,
software installations and modifications, mail and data. The site runs on Debian GNU/Linux, Apache2,
with scripting language software support such as Perl 5,
PHP and Python. We use a custom built machine
with a 2.2GHz AMD Athlon64 processor, two 80GB SATA drives, an Asus motherboard with an onboard network adapter.
