Aspect Weaving as Component Knitting: Separating Concerns with Knit

Knit is a new component specification and linking language. It was initially designed for low-level systems software, which requires especially flexible components with especially well-defined interfaces. For example, threads and virtual memory are typically implemented by components within the system, instead of being supplied by some execution environment. Consequently, components used to con...

Quantum Knitting

We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of c...

Development of Textile Reinforced Composites for Aircraft Structures

NASA has been a leader in development of composite materials for aircraft applications during the past 25 years. In the early 1980’s NASA and others conducted research to improve damage tolerance of composite structures through the use of toughened resins but these resins were not costeffective. The aircraft industry wanted affordable, robust structures that could withstand the rigors of flight...

Recent Trends in Machine Translation

In the last two years machine translation (MT) has embarked on a voyage into the future, spurred by the presence of personal computers on individual desktops throughout the world and, more recently, universal access to electronic text on-line. This impressive growth has led to many new trends, including major changes in the profile of the user. Apace with this trajectory has come better communi...
