Abstract : 
This talk will give an overview of the efforts of SLAC, KEK, and Naruto 
University to create integrated GUI for Geant4, based on JAS3
framework, with ability to interactively:

-       Edit Geant4 geometry, materials, and physics processes
-       Control Geant4 execution: pass commands and receive output,
        control event loop
-       See AIDA histograms defined in Geant4
-       Show events in integrated event display

JAS3 is a general-purpose, open-source, data analysis tool. The program
uses a highly modular component based framework, which allows it to be
customized for a particular problem domain by addition, replacement or
removal of modules. The idea is to create a set of JAS3 modules, based
on existing interactive tools, like : GAG, Gain, Momo, WIRED event
display, etc., that allow to connect to Geant4 server (local or remote)
and exchange information, as well as control it.
