All courses are now run through UVa's (internal) Collab online tool, and all course material can only be found there. Archives of previous (public) course website are below:

The MetroNet project got some media coverage from UVA Inside and The Cavalier Daily!

The IPSN '07 Extreme Sensing competition took place April 26, 2007 at the MIT media lab, and the website now contains pictures and videos.

MatlabControl allows you to call Matlab functions from Java (without restarting Matlab for each new function call). This is different from the Mathwork's built-in Java support, which lets you call Java functions from within Matlab.

GenericClass is a perl script (with corresponding matlab files) that you can run over your Matlab @class directory. It overrides the default matlab object behavior to give you Java-like inheritance and syntax in Matlab. It also adds the function names, field names and their values to the 'disp' value of the object. GenericClass can be useful when engineering large Matlab projects, because Matlab objects do not handle inheritance sufficiently and it is difficult to have nested objects because of the clumsy syntax, ie. set(obj,'field', value).
