—Language is a medium for communication of our thoughts. Natural language is too wide to conceive and formulate the thoughts and ideas in a precise way. As science and technology grows, the necessity of languages arouses through which the thoughts are expressed in a better manner. Set Theory is such a mathematical language for expressing the thought of interest in a realistic way. It is well su...

Compilers for modern object-oriented programming languages generate code in a platform independent intermediate language [LY99, CLI06] preserving the concepts of the source language; for example, classes, fields, methods, and virtual or static dispatch can be directly identified within the intermediate code. To execute this intermediate code, state-of-the-art implementations of virtual machines...

Current educational reform efforts in Arizona involve three major federal and state language and assessment policies: (a) AZ LEARNS (2001), Arizona’s high-stakes testing and school accountability program; (b) No Child Left Behind (2002); and (c) Proposition 203 (2000), which places restrictions on programs for English language learner (ELL) students. Each policy calls for the full inclusion of ...

The Parallel Object-Oriented Specification Language (POOSL) is an expressive modelling language for hardware/software systems [10]. It was originally defined in [7] as an object-oriented extension of process algebra CCS [6], supporting (conditional) synchronous message passing between (hierarchically structured) asynchronous concurrent processes. Meanwhile, POOSL has been extended with real-tim...

We present a language Noodle in which to specify declarative queries in an object-oriented database system. The language models object-identity, classes, relations, views, inheritance, complex objects, and methods, in addition to logical rules. Noodle is intended to be used as a query language in an object-oriented database system, with the beneets of declarativeness, namely increased eeciency ...

A programming language fo r natural language processing programs is descr ibed. Examples of the output of programs w r i t t e n using it are g iven. The reasons fo r various design decisions are discussed. An actual session wi th the system is presented, in which a small fragment of an Engl ish-to-French t r ans la to r is devel oped. Some of the l i m i t a t i o n s of the system are d i s c...

In a recent article (Lindblom and Ziemke, 2002) the authors argue much of the work in epigenetic robotics and related elds has either direct or indirect inspiration from the work of the Psychologist and theoretician L. S. Vygotsky. And yet despite much interest in what a Vygotsky inspired robotics might look like, and theoretical schemes where Vygotskian ideas play a central role e.g. (Zlatev, ...
