The aim of this article was to examine three advanced textbooks in Iran Language Institute (ILI) in an attempt to establish if they differ in the extent to which they represent dimension of big ‘C’ culture and little ‘c’ culture, their stance in distribution of references of cultural category, and also what themes predominate. The analysis identifies just the cultural elements, and culture–free...

MOOD (Musical Object-Oriented Dialect) is a C++ class library for computer music [1]. It runs on SPARC, MIPS, and MC680x0-based UNIX machines and on the Apple Macintosh, and uses MIDI I/O. It is designed for algorithmic composition, interactive systems, and cognition research, and is well-suited to any application that needs concurrency and precise timing control. MOOD borrows many ideas from F...

Recently, FO(C), the integration of C-LOG with classical logic, was introduced as a knowledge representation language. Up to this point, no systems exist that perform inference on FO(C), and very little is known about properties of inference in FO(C). In this paper, we study both of the above problems. We define normal forms for FO(C), one of which corresponds to FO(ID). We define transformatio...

Concert C is a new language for distributed C programming that extends ANSI C to support distribution and process dynamics Concert C provides the ability to create and terminate processes connect them together and communicate among them It supports transparent remote function calls RPC and asynchronous messages Interprocess communications interfaces are typed in Concert C and type correctness i...

To get the most out of Standard C++ [C++,1998], we must rethink the way we write C++ programs. An approach to such a "rethink" is to consider how C++ can be learned (and taught). What design and programming techniques do we want to emphasize? What subsets of the language do we want to learn first? What subsets of the language do we want to emphasize in real code? This paper compares a few examp...
