The Start of an Eiffel Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
The launching of the JOT provides a welcome opportunity to resume the Eiffel column that ran for many years in JOOP from 1998 (edited first by Rock Howard from whom I took over in 1998). It will run pretty much like its predecessor, with a mix of contributions by guest columnists and by me, and a mix of topics — from language matters to methodological issues of object-oriented software construction to reports on industry projects — that I hope will be of interest not only to Eiffel users but also to many others.

Automated Translation of Java Source Code to Eiffel
Reusability is an important software engineering concept actively advocated for the last forty years. While reusability has been addressed for systems implemented using the same programming language, it does not usually handle interoperability with different programming languages. This paper presents a solution for the reuse of Java code within Eiffel programs based on a source-to-source transl...
متن کاملSymposium on Concurrency , Real - Time , and Distribution in Eiffel - Like Languages
Although Eiffel has been around since the 1980s, and there have been various attempts to introduce concurrency into the language, none of these attempts have been successfully extended to support real-time system development. This is due, in part, to the concurrency models not having an easy way to identify threads, which in turn complicates the expression of real-time attributes. The requireme...

O ver its lO-yem-life Eiffel has evolved into one of the most usable software development environments available today. Other articles in this special section summarize its theoretical contributions; in this essay I will address a more mundane subject: how practical software projects can benefit, today, from the power of Eiffel. In so doing I will largely rely on published assessments from both...
متن کاملToward More Expressive Contracts
The principles of Design by Contract form the basis of the Eiffel approach and account for a good deal of its appeal. Eiffel's contracts are the result of a design trade-offbetween the full extent of formal specifications and what is acceptable to practicing software developers. The latter criterion has been critical: The ideas had to be practical; any competent programmer can immediately see t...
متن کاملConformance of agents in the Eiffel language
In Eiffel, the notion of agent makes it possible to describe and manipulate computation parts (i.e. operations) like ordinary data. Operations may be partially described, may be passed as ordinary data and may have their execution delayed. Agents are very convenient for many purposes, such as going through data structures and implementing call-backs in graphical libraries. Although they can be ...
