WIRED is a framework, written in Java, to build High Energy
Physics event displays that can be used across the network.
To guarantee portability across all platforms WIRED is implemented
in the Java language and uses the Swing user interface component
set. It can be used as a stand-alone application or as an applet
inside a WWW browser.
The graphical user interface allows for multiple views and for
multiple controls acting on those views. A detector tree control
is available to toggle the visibility of parts of the events and
detector geometry. XML (Extensible Markup Language), RMI (Remote
Method Invocation) and CORBA loaders can be used to load event
data as well as geometry data, and to connect to FORTRAN, C, C++
and Java reconstruction programs. Unusual projections (fish-eye,
rho-phi, rho-Z, phi-Z) provide special views to get a better
understanding of some events. A special Java interpreter allows
physicists to write small scripts to interact with their data and
its display.
WIRED has grown to be a framework in use and under development in
several HEP experiments (ATLAS, CHORUS, DELPHI, LHCb, BaBar, D0
and ZEUS). WIRED event displays have also proven to be useful to
explain High Energy Physics to the general public. Both CERN, in
its travelling exhibition and MicroCosm, and RAL, during its open
days, have displays set up.
