9. 24 Jan 2006 Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications Eugenia Hatziangeli AB/CO 9 Our Approach to Java Applications Development  A considerable amount of applications for stage I & II is requested  This will be achieved since we have put in place a common architecture based on a solid core functionality a standard equipment access reusable software components standard facilities upon which the LHC applications are being built  This requires high competence in software engineering for core development BUT it pays back Complex self contained applications are replaced by light weight GUI applications which are easier to develop GUI applications based on the core are less error prone
