The concept of complexity is used in many areas of computer science and software engineering. Software complexity metrics can be used to evaluate and compare quality of software development and maintenance processes and their products. Complexity management and measurement is especially important in novel programming technologies and paradigms, such as aspect-oriented programming, generative pr...

A metalanguage for concurrent process languages is introduced. Within it a range of process languages can be defined, including higher-order process languages where processes are passed and received as arguments. (The process language has, however, to be linear, in the sense that a process received as an argument can be run at most once, and not include name generation as in the Pi-Calculus.) T...

In this paper we present GDialogXML, which is a new powerful modeling language for multi-modal dialog applications. In contrast to other dialog description languages (e.g. VoiceXML) GDialogXML focuses on the complete development process, covering data models, dialog flow, interaction models, and many more. It even allows for the modality-independent modeling of dialog applications. Beside some ...
