COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (CRADAS) The United States Department of the Navy is announcing the availability of dual use technology which may be licensed for commercial purposes. The Navy will form Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with industry. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) has developed the means to present almost any application front end on any JAVA enabled machine while re-using the same client software each time. Since the client software is re-used regardless of the application front end -- development costs, time to market and configuration management are all reduced. The patent pending product, called the Universal Client, understands a scripting command language called, GUIScript. GUIScripting application front ends not only allows developers to provide access to their applications through any JAVA supported platform -- but developers can additionally embed training and web page navigation for context sensitive information retrieval. The Universal Client supports push technology and allows users to access and manipulate data which changes in real time. Additional information and an interactive online demonstration is available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.nswc.navy.mil/edu/index-w.html.
