Computer animation, computer simulation, computer music and other areas often need to deal with concurrent activities with specific temporal characteristics. This paper proposes a scripting facility to help program such applications. This facility provides support for specifying long-term behaviour of objects in an object-oriented environment. Temporal scripts can be instantiated and combined u...

Online cursive handwriting recognition is currently one of the most intriguing challenges in pattern recognition. This study presents a novel approach to this problem which is composed of two complementary phases. The first is dynamic encoding of the writing trajectory into a compact sequence of discrete motor control symbols. In this compact representation we largely remove the redundancy of t...

We describe an architecture for implementing spoken natural language dialogue interfaces to semi-autonomous systems, in which the central idea is to transform the input speech signal through successive levels of representation corresponding roughly to linguistic knowledge, dialogue knowledge, and domain knowledge. The final representation is an executable program in a simple scripting language ...

We argue that object-oriented programming is only half of the story. Flexible, configurable applications can be viewed as collections of reusable objects conforming to standard interfaces together with scripts that bind these objects together to perform certain tasks. Scripting encourages a component-oriented approach to application development in which frameworks of reusable components (object...
