Abstracting the real world is a major aim of Informatics. This paper introduces a new Theory and Language which allow to better abstract the real world in clear and simplified Models than today’s software does. It thereby helps crossing a number of abstraction gaps that each software project has to go through in its lifetime. Sticking to Cybernetics, this paper means that one of the first thing...

INTRODUCTION With the explosion of data volume and the variety of data sources (Cohen et al., 2009) – two aspects of the big data problem-we observe quite significant difficulties in applying conventional data analysis methodologies to real world problems. The existing technologies for data management and analytics were pushed to the limits of their ability to solve more and more complex analys...

This paper describes the concept of language oriented programming which is a novel way of organising the development of a large software system, leading to a different structure for the finished product. The approach starts by developing a formally specified, domain-oriented, very high-level language which is designed to be well-suited to developing “this kind of program”. The development proce...

The Business-oriented Constraint Language (BCL) is proposed as a means of annotating diagrams in UML. BCL is grounded in the Object Constraint Language (OCL) but is designed particularly to address the needs of people who are concerned with enterprise application integration (EAI), although it may be more widely applicable. EAI often requires a loosely coupled event-based architecture in which ...

Implementations of language oriented programming (LOP) are typically either language workbenches, which facilitate the development of external domain speci c languages (DSLs) with projectional editors, or host languages for internal DSLs that are parsed. In this work, we present Cedalio a novel approach to LOP, along with a prototyped programming language and workbench implementing our approach...

a foreign language teaching method is supposed to take into account the real communicative needs of the foreign language learner. using literary texts is a suitable way not only to teach a foreign language but to consider particular facts that relate to human and cultural needs of learners. using the humanistic-oriented literary texts as an authentic document in the foreign language course allo...

The use of object-oriented techniques and concepts, like encapsulation and inheritance, greatly improves language specifications towards better modularity, reusability and extensibility. Additional improvements can be achieved with aspect-oriented techniques since semantic aspects also crosscut many language constructs. Indeed, aspect-oriented constructs have been already added to some language...
