Make the models available on the web

By Anonymous - Posted on 07 October 2009

I'd like to suggest that the models in the book be made available for inspection and running in a web browser. This can be done with the models implemented in code (e.g. Java, Javascript), but it would be far better to represent the models in an open XML format and use online tools for displaying and running the models. Have a look at this presentation to get a feel for what is possible.
