Lightweight Java

An ultra-lightweight Java interpreter for bridging CS1

This paper presents an ultra-lightweight Java interpreter for use in teaching CS1 courses. The interpreter is targeted specifically at complete beginner programmers and addresses aspects particularly relevant or troublesome to novices, such as expressions, method calls, method calls as sub-expressions, and recursion. The interpreter works on a subset of Java and is intended as a bridge to a mor...

An Implementation of a Lightweight Argumentation Engine for Agent Applications

Argumentation is becoming increasingly important in the design and implementation of autonomous software agents. In this paper we discuss our current work on a prototype lightweight Java-based argumentation engine that can be used to implement a non-monotonic reasoning component in Internet or agent-based applications. As far as possible we are aiming towards implementing a general purpose argu...

DrJava: A lightweight pedagogi environment for Java

A technology for lightweight web-based visual applications

Providing useful and usable visual interaction for web-based applications is a challenge without requiring client-side support such as Java applets. We describe Cliki, which provides web-based lightweight support for visual systems. Cliki makes minimal assumptions about the client used to view the web pages, meaning applications that use it are highly accessible.

MAE and MAI: Lightweight Annotation and Adjudication Tools

MAE and MAI are lightweight annotation and adjudication tools for corpus creation. DTDs are used to define the annotation tags and attributes, including extent tags, link tags, and non-consuming tags. Both programs are written in Java and use a stand-alone SQLite database for storage and retrieval of annotation data. Output is in stand-off XML.
