In the realm of a format agnostic live event broadcast system, the FascinatE Scripting Engines are software components that automate taking decisions on what is visible and audible at each playout device and prepare the audiovisual content streams for display. Essentially, they act together as a Virtual Director with the production team possibly steering it via a backend user interface. We pres...

This paper presents a visual shell-scripting tool that enables creation of Unix shell scripts from individual components that wrap various Unix programs. A usability study was conducted to compare programming using VisualDesktop with traditional shell script programming. Extensions to this tool to include software patterns, or templates, for both experienced and novice programmers are

The concept of scripts has considerable appeal as addressing or at least naming an urgent issue in CSCL: how to use the promise of networked computers to guide groups of students to engage in desirable and successful collaborative learning. However, the concept of scripts is often applied inconsistently or founded on problematic theoretical grounds. Reconceptualizing scripts as situated resourc...

Keywords: Systematic literature review Cross-site scripting Security Web applications a b s t r a c t Context: Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a security vulnerability that affects web applications. It occurs due to improper or lack of sanitization of user inputs. The security vulnerability caused many problems for users and server applications. Objective: To conduct a systematic literature revie...

The use of scripting makes it possible to overcome many important difficulties in the development of database applications. By extending a general-purpose scripting language with constructs derived both from the database kernel and from the intended application domain, issues such as query processing and user interfacing can be approached in an economical and flexible way. This is illustrated b...

How to integrate EDA tools to enable interoperability and ease of use has been a very time-consuming and complicated job. Conventionally, each tool comes with a unique and simple set of commands for interactive use such as Sis[12], Vis[8], and Magic[5], but it lacks full programming capability of a scripting language. Also, it discourages further exploration to the underlying system functionali...

“Difficulty scaling” is the automatic adaptation of a game, to adapt the challenge a game poses to a human player. In general, a game of which the challenge level matches the skill of the human player (i.e., an “even game”) is experienced as more entertaining than a game that is either too easy or too hard. In practice, when difficulty scaling is implemented in a game, it only adapts a few para...

Many practitioners and researcher have stated that the widespread of Computer Support of Collaborative work has not been as successful as hoped. There have been many challenges that have faced managers and team members when conducting collaborative work sessions in the virtual environment. Collaboration Script is considered a relatively a new approach in assisting designing successful collabora...

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...
