[Odejava] Citation for article

Game Mechanics
#1

I’m currently writing a paper, and have used odejava as an environment for a robot platform which I tested a controller on. Where can I get the full citation/reference to put in the bibliography section of the article?

Good question. What format do they normally take for software?

Will.

Hmm, I’m not sure. Usually there is a published article by the author describing the software, but in this case I don’t think anything like that exists. Perhaps the following items:
author (um, Jani Laakso and William Denniss i guess?),
name/title (“Odejava”),
edition (hmm, for ode it would 0.5 but for odejava i don’t know),
publisher (the web site),
year of publication (date which the release i used was published).

Hi Vikstar,

You can site odejava web (or forum) site, if you can not find another way.

By the way, i am interested in “java and robotics”. If it will not be a problem, can you send the sources of your work (with paper if possible) to me? (levent.bayindir@gmail.com)

Thanks.

the example citation you gave seems OK, I’d put the Odejava version and perhaps ODE as well. We are using ODE from CVS, not 0.5, and Odejava is probably from CVS too, so maybe just put "CVS ".

Are you interested in creating a wiki page on odejava.org for your thesis, perhaps with a download? I’m interested in seeing it too.

Cheers,

Will.

Thanks. I’m no where near the end of my thesis. The “robot” so far is simply an inverted double pendulum, which can easily be simulated by other means. The reason I used ODE was because I may one day go to bipeds, and I don’t want to rewrite my entire framework. However, having said that, I’m considering the Novodex (http://www.ageia.com/novodex.html) engine in the future, since I’ll need lots of processing power and can utilize the PPU cards when they come out.
