In the Informutics Progrumme ut the Technicul University of Denmark, we base the j r s t course in objectoriented programming (using the Juvu lunguuge) on a preceding course in functionulprogrumming (using the SML lunguuge). The students may hence exploit concepts from functionulprogrumrning in the construction of OOprogrums. This is done following U method where the progrum design is expressed...

The goal of this work is to simplify parallel applications development, and thus ease the learning barriers faced by non-experts. It is especially useful where there is little data-parallelism to be recognized by a compiler. The applications programmer need learn the intricacies of only one primary subroutine in order to get the full bene ts of the parallel interface. The applications programme...

We describe a scalable parallelization of Geant4 using commodity hardware in a collaborative effort between the College of Computer Science and the Department of Physics at Northeastern University. The system consists of a Beowulf cluster of 32 Pentium II processors with 128 MBytes of memory each, connected via ATM and fast Ethernet. The bulk of the parallelization is done using TOP-C (Task Ori...

In this paper we discuss about the combination of to powerful tools for documenting object oriented frameworks: hypermedia navigational models and hypermedia queries. We also present a way for translating queries performed on top of framework documentation applications, into XML representations, as a way for exchanging framework documentation not only through the web, but through different info...

Multi-agent Systems Product Lines (MAS-PLs) have emerged to integrate two promising trends of software engineering: agent-oriented software engineering and software product lines. In this paper, we propose a domain engineering process to develop MAS-PLs, built on top of agent-oriented and software product line approaches.

This paper describes the Description Logics system C3L++ that is implemented on top of the object-oriented POET data base. The benefits of such an integration are the management of large size knowledge bases, an increased performance and data persistency. Moreover, it is planned to integrate the relational database MERLIN via an object-oriented access layer in C3L++ and test afterwards its perf...

This paper describes an implementation of UNIX on top of an object-oriented operating system. UNIX is implemented without modifying the underlying mechanisms provided by the base system. The resulting system runs dynamically-linked UNIX binaries and utilizes the services provided by the object-oriented system.

BACKGROUND Application oriented ontologies are important for reliably communicating and managing data in databases. Unfortunately, they often differ in the definitions they use and thus do not live up to their potential. This problem can be reduced when using a standardized and ontologically consistent template for the top-level categories from a top-level formal foundational ontology. This wou...
