Information for the Implementation of Version 8 of Icon
نویسنده
چکیده
The Icon programming language [1] is fairly stable now, although refinements and new features are added occasionally [2]. The implementation of Icon, on the other hand, is still changing constantly. Besides changes made to support new features of the language, changes are made to correct errors, improve performance, increase portability, accommodate the requirements of new compilers and operating systems, improve readability of the source code, and so on.

Stakeholder perspectives on relationship between factors affecting readiness for radio frequency identification implementation
Introduction: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification technology which uses radio waves for collecting and transferring data. Due to extensive use in tracking and identifying people and objects, this technology has been able to solve many of the hospital's problems and help to increase the quality of delivery of services. The aim of this study was to survey t...
متن کاملNew Control Structures in Icon*
1. Introduction Expressions in Icon [7] are capable of generating sequences of results during the course of their evaluation. For this reason, expressions in Icon are often referred to as generators. The primary control mechanism that exploits generators is goal-directed evaluation [12], which provides control backtracking [8]. This paper describes additional control mechanisms that have been a...
متن کاملA new implementation of the Icon language
We describe Jcon, a new, Java-based implementation of the Icon programming language. The implementation includes a compiler and runtime system. The runtime system is novel in its concise and efficient object-oriented implementation of a dynamically typed language, as well as its simple mechanism for realizing Icon generators.
متن کاملIcons improve older and younger adults' comprehension of medication information.
We examined whether timeline icons improved older and younger adults' comprehension of medication information. In Experiment 1, comprehension of instructions with the icon (icon/text format) and without the icon (text-only format) was assessed by questions about information that was (a) implicit in the text but depicted explicitly by the icon (total dose in a 24 hour period), (b) stated and dep...
متن کاملThe Color Icon: A New Design and a Parallel Implementation
The color icon harnesses color and texture perception to create integrated displays of two-dimensional multi-parameter distributions. We have redesigned the color icon. The new design increases the number of parameters that can be integrated. It also extends the icon from two dimensions to three dimensions (which increases the number of parameters that can be integrated even further). To facili...
