Package: continious space machine Emu
System name: simulator
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The Emulator emulates a continous space machine.
This machine is explained in a number of papers written by Mr Tom Naughton et 
al.
The emulation cannot truly preform operations defined by the continous model of 
computation, as the concept of continous space does not exist inside a Turing 
machine.
Emulation of the operations is hoped to be a pointer to possible problems in 
physical implementation of the machine.

This project is the result of my fourth year university project.
It is written in Java and uses the GNU kaffe compiler and virtual machine.

The project uses the GNU Java regular expression matching classes.
It also uses the Xerces XML parser from the Apache foundation.
The first task in a new development cycle would be to find a GNU DOM level 2 
XML parser and replace all Xerces references.

The emulator also serves to validate and guide programmers attempting to code 
for the machine.

This project is deeply rooted in computational theory, relevent papers should 
appear as 1) they are published 2) permission is granted to quote them.


A substantial codebase currently exists (5.3MB cvs repository).
