Designing Reuseable Classes

Architecture for a reuseable object-oriented polymorphic middleware

Using a middleware when designing a new distributed application allows portability across numerous software and hardware architectures, but introduces a new layer of potential incompatibilities due to the existence of various middleware standards. This paper presents the architecture of DROOPI (Distributed Reusable Object-Oriented Polymorphic Infrastructure). This project aims at defining and i...

µTTCN - an approach to continuous signals in TTCN-3

Today, development and implementation of automotive embedded systems is based on a model-based process. A major problem of respective model-based toolchains can be traced back to inadequate testing tools, which often are not standardized, incomplete and cumbersome in usage. Due to these shortcomings, test specifications are neither exchangeable nor reuseable. In this paper, we propose μTTCN for...

Decision Tree Methods for Finding Reusable MDP Homomorphisms

State abstraction is a useful tool for agents interacting with complex environments. Good state abstractions are compact, reuseable, and easy to learn from sample data. This paper combines and extends two existing classes of state abstraction methods to achieve these criteria. The first class of methods search for MDP homomorphisms (Ravindran 2004), which produce models of reward and transition...

A strategy for recovering high quality genomic DNA from a large number of Phytophthora isolates.

We present a strategy to recover high molecular weight genomic DNA from large numbers of isolates of Phytophthora. Included are steps for generating mycelial mass in 24-well reuseable deep well plates, efficient lyophilization and disruption of the mycelium and genomic DNA extraction with 96-well glass fiber filter plates. The resulting DNA is consistently high molecular weight and is suitable ...
