This research aims to investigate the contributions of KARDS (knowing, analyzing, recognizing, doing, and seeing) to Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) institute teachers’ professional identity reconstruction. The researchers employed purposive sampling to choose twenty teachers. A KARDS questionnaire (Hassani, Khatib, & Yazdani Moghaddam, 2019a, 2019b) was used to classify the teacher...

In this paper we propose a set-oriented rule-based method deenition language for object-oriented databases. Most existing object-oriented database systems exploit a general purpose imperative object-oriented programming language as method deenition language. Because methods are written in a general-purpose imperative language, it is diicult to analyze their properties and to optimize them. Opti...

Deductive object-oriented databases are intended to integrate the deductive and object-oriented database techniques to combine the best of two approaches and to overcome their inherent shortcomings, with a number of deductive object-oriented database languages proposed. However, most of these languages are only structurally object-oriented. Important behaviorally object-oriented features such a...

Very well known problems such as the fragility problem, the AOP paradox, or the aspect interference problem threaten aspect oriented application in the modeling phase. In this work we explore FVS, a declarative visual language, as an aspect-oriented modeling language. Our language exhibits a very flexible and rich joinpoint model to leverage aspect-oriented application and is suitable for incre...

Integrating concurrent and object-oriented programming has been an active research topic since the late 1980s. The majority of approaches have taken a sequential object-oriented language and made it concurrent. A few approaches have taken a concurrent language and made it object-oriented. The most important of this latter class is the Ada 95 language which is an extension to the object-based co...

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...

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, ...
