action sequences. The developed environment allows to schedule independent robot actions on parallel execution lines and provides mechanism to avoid side-effects of parallel actions. The developed environment is platform-independent and based on the model-driven paradigm. The feasibility of our approach

Precise modelling of behaviour is an area where programming meets modelling, and textual syntax competes with a visual one. By developing a UML based platform-independent framework, we aimed to find a visual syntax aid to make the language more approachable to stakeholders, while taking advantage

-intensive applications and propose a seamlessly integrated platform-independent language with powerful querying capability, which would allow specifying a complete application behaviour. The proposal is aimed at high level of compliance with existing modelling standards – as such it is based on UML behavioural elements

business process design Events relating to XML-based data and knowledge management at the Computer Graphics Center (ZGDV) in Darmstadt. The platform-independent programming

in which Grid-unaware task flow applications can be written, for execution on Grids. As such, GRID superscalar can be seen as a client application to SAGA. In this paper, we discuss how SAGA can help implementing GRID superscalar’s runtime system, together forming a high-level and platform-independent

Abstract — Courseware distribution between different platforms is the major issue of current e-Learning. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is one of the solutions for courseware sharing. However, to make SCORM-conformable courseware, some knowledge about HTML and Java

Abduction in Logic Programming started in the late 80s, early 90s, in an attempt to extend logic programming into a framework suitable for a variety of problems in Artificial Intelligence and other areas of Computer Science. This paper aims to chart out the main developments of the field over

The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s as a system implementation language for the nascent Unix operating system. Derived from the typeless language BCPL, it evolved a type structure; created on a tiny machine as a tool to improve a meager programming environment, it has become

Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent

of available computers, communicating as appropriate through files, TCP pipes, and shared-memory FIFOs. The vertices provided by the application developer are quite simple and are usually written as sequential programs with no thread creation or locking. Concurrency arises from Dryad scheduling vertices to run
