NexJ-CDOT Knowledge Base

Purpose

The research activities of creating the NexJ-CDOT knowledge base at CDOT-Seneca has three goals in mind.

• It will enable new research students to go through a shorter learning curve in working with the huge code base of NexJ Model Server Express.
• It will benefit the open source community of developers who want to make contributions to the NexJ code base.
• It will be a repository of various software artifacts that have been produced during the process of working with the code base of NexJ Model Server Express.
