This paper describes oogp, an object-oriented genetic programming system. Oogp provides traditional genetic programming capabilities in an object-oriented framework. Among the advantages of object-oriented genetic programming are: (a) strong typing, (b) availability of existing class libraries for inclusion in generated programs, and (c) straightforward extensibility to include features such as...

We combine the area of object-oriented speciication and object-oriented logic programming by indicating the translation of a speciication language into an enhanced logic programming language. The translation shows that in comparison to the programming language the speciication language ooers richer concepts. The background of our work is the development of rapid prototyping systems for object-o...

Loud discussions concerning various ways of teaching object-orientation have taken place without much empirical evidence for any position. This paper reports qualitative observations of learning of object-oriented programming in an introductory course. The students were found to cope reasonably well with the object-oriented concepts, and they had learnt procedural programming first. However, wh...

Writing a perfectly correct code is a challenging and a nearly impossible task. In this work we suggest the recovery oriented programming paradigm in order to cope with eventual Byzantine programs. The program specification composer enforces the program specifications (both the safety and the liveness properties) in run time using predicates over input and output variables. The component progra...

This paper presents a technique, called interaction-oriented programming (IOP), which facilitates the design of large reactive systems. IOP is based on the assumption, that it is better to separate the coordination of the components from the components itself making coordination patterns explicit. This contrasts with the usual practice, in which the coordination is directly handled inside the c...

This paper introduces a programming language for serviceoriented agents. Jadl++ combines the ease of use of scripting-languages with a state-of-the-art service oriented approach which allows the seamless integration of web-services. Furthermore, the language includes OWLbased ontologies for semantic descriptions of data and services, thus allowing agents to make intelligent decisions about serv...

We introduce an object-oriented framework for parallel programming, which is based on the observation that programming objects can be naturally interpreted as processes. A parallel program consists of a collection of persistent processes that communicate by executing remote methods. We discuss code parallelization and process persistence, and explain the main ideas in the context of computation...

Six generations of RPC systems can be distinguished including Federated Method Invocation presented in this paper. Some of them—CORBA, Java RMI, and Web/OGSA services—support distributed objects. However, creating object wrappers implementing remote interfaces doesn’t have a great deal to do with object-oriented distributed programming. Distributed objects developed that way are usually ill-str...

Classes are fundamental elements in object-oriented programming, but they cannot be assembled in a truly flexible manner from other classes. As a result, cross-cutting structural code for implementing associations, graph structures, and so forth must be implemented over and over again. Subobject-oriented programming overcomes this problem by augmenting object-oriented programming with subobject...

Context Parallel computing is an important field within the sciences. With the emergence of multi, and soon many, core CPUs this is moving more and more into the domain of general computing. HPC programmers want performance, but at the moment this comes at a cost; parallel languages are either efficient or conceptually simple, but not both. Aim To develop and evaluate a novel programming paradi...
