This paper describes the architecture and implementation of MIKE a version of the IK distributed persistent object oriented programming platform built on top of the Mach microkernel MIKE s primary goal is to o er a single object oriented programming paradigm for writing distributed applications In MIKE an application programmer can use C almost as he would in a non distributed system The platfo...

Numerical modeling of hydrodynamics (HD) around the Tanjung Pasir Waters was carried out using MIKE 21 HD Flexible Mesh software to get current velocity pattern conditions during west and east monsoons. This activity is support NCICD sea wall construction plan. In addition, results that will be obtained in this are speed direction various tidal spring neap. The data used include wind direction,...

Few first-rate biologists start their careers with only one ‘A-level’ (High School qualification) and a job in a copper wire factory. Fewer still go on to command a research budget of £250 million a year. But then Mike Dexter, who takes over this summer as director of the UK’s Wellcome Trust, the world’s biggest medical research charity, has always done things his own way. Dexter joins the Trus...

This paper shows how KARO (Knowledge Acquisition Environment with Reusable Ontoiogies) supports the development of the domain layer in MIKE (Model-based and Incremental Knowledge Engineering). KARO supplements the reuse of generic problem-solving methods at the task and inference layers in MIKE with a commonsense ontology at the domain layer. The intention is to make the development process eas...
