10 Glossary Figure 33: Technical terminology used in this document. Client Server Web Server Port XML Java JVM JRE Java Plug-in An applet obtained from the Web Server by a browser viewing html pages. The applet runs in the browser and communicates with the Server. An application which can be contacted for the exchange of information. This can be a web server (which serves up HTML pages) or a different type of server which runs on a web server and serves up different types of information. A machine which hosts web pages and applications, and ‘serves’ them to clients. A ‘door’ on a server which is used to provide a particular service; clients on the web conenct with the server through its port eXtendend Markup Language; a language for marking up or ‘tagging’ sections of textual documents with a meaning. An object-oriented (OO) programming language allowing cross-platform compatibility and web applications. Java Virtual Machine; the environment in which java runs its programs. This is what allows Java to run on different platforms – your JVM is specific to your OS. Java Runtime Environment; a Java environment for your computer which includes a JVM and enables you to run Java programs (locally) or applets (locally or in your browser). A simple Java environment which provides a JVM purely for running applets in your browser. This is all your subjects will need. Table 34 explains some of the terminology used in describing experiments. Though familiar, these terms may well be used in a different sense to that which you understand. Please refer to this table in relation to experiment descriptions. 58
Figure 34: Terminology used in describing Experiments. Timeline Stage Slide Component Stimulus Response The description of the whole sequence of events in an experiment, from which the full dynamic experiment is produced. A section of the experiment with a particular aim, such as collecting subject details, providing practise, or administering the experiment proper. A single display within the Timeline of the experiment; it contains components (stimuli and responses/inputs). You will tend to use one Slide per condition. Something which can be presented to the participant in a Slide. This includes both Stimulus components, which are presented to provoke a response in the subject; and Response components, which are presented in order to collect input representing the subject’s response. A component which simply presents something to the participant, like some text, a picture or a sound. A component to which a participant can respond by providing input, in the form of text or a choice. 59
