GENRE PATTERNS IN LANGUAGE- BASED COMMUNICATION ZONES

by Bertha Du-babcock, Richard D. Babcock
"... This article modifies and elaborates the language-based communication zones model. The authors distinguish between potential zones and activated zones, add MegaZone Two and MegaZone Three to the model, define language competency more completely and precisely, and identify three types of genre patter ..."

Concurrent Constraint Programming

by Vijay A. Saraswat, Martin Rinard , 1993
"... This paper presents a new and very rich class of (con-current) programming languages, based on the notion of comput.ing with parhal information, and the con-commitant notions of consistency and entailment. ’ In this framework, computation emerges from the inter-action of concurrently executing agent ..."

The design and implementation of an intentional naming system

by William Adjie-Winoto, Elliot Schwartz, Hari Balakrishnan, Jeremy Lilley - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999 , 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."

on specific properties of services, (ii) responsive, to track changes due to mobility and performance, (iii) robust, to handle failures, and (iv) easily configurable. INS uses a simple language based on attributes and values for its names. Applications use the language to describe what they are looking for (i

A Compositional Approach to Performance Modelling

by Jane Hillston , 1996
"... Performance modelling is concerned with the capture and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of computer and communication systems. The size and complexity of many modern systems result in large, complex models. A compositional approach decomposes the system into subsystems that are smaller and more ea ..."

easily modelled. In this thesis a novel compositional approach to performance modelling is presented. This approach is based on a suitably enhanced process algebra, PEPA (Performance Evaluation Process Algebra). The compositional nature of the language provides benefits for model solution as well

The faculty of language: what is it, who has it, and how did it evolve?

by Marc D Hauser , Noam Chomsky , W Tecumseh Fitch - Science, , 2002
"... We argue that an understanding of the faculty of language requires substantial interdisciplinary cooperation. We suggest how current developments in linguistics can be profitably wedded to work in evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience. We submit that a distinction should ..."

conserved developmental systems that read an (almost) universal language encoded in DNA base pairs. As such, life is arranged hierarchically with a foundation of discrete, unblendable units (codons, and, for the most part, genes) capable of combining to create increasingly complex and virtually limitless

Language-Based Architectural Control

by Jonathan Aldrich, Cyrus Omar, Alex Potanin, Du Li
"... Abstract. Software architects design systems to achieve quality attributes like security, reliability, and performance. Key to achieving these quality attributes are design constraints governing how components of the system are configured, communicate and access resources. Unfortunately, identifying ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
, identifying, specifying, com-municating and enforcing important design constraints – achieving architectural control – can be difficult, particularly in large software systems. We argue for the development of architectural frameworks, built to leverage language mechanisms that provide for domain

Language primitives and type discipline for structured communication-based programming

by Nobuko Yoshida, Vasco T. Vasconcelos - In ESOP’98, volume 1381 of LNCS , 1998
"... Session primitives and types provide a flexible programming style for structured interaction, and are used to statically check the safe and consistent composition of protocols in communication-centric distributed software. Unfortunately authors working on session types have recently realised that so ..."

Theorems of the original session typing system by Honda-Vasconcelos-Kubo in ESOP’98. It also proposes a variant which allows a more liberal higher-order session communication, based on an idea of Gay and Hole.

Specification and analysis of system architecture using Rapide

by David C. Luckham, John J. Kenney, Larry M. Augustin, James Vera, Doug Bryan, Walter Mann - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1995
"... Rapide is an event-based concurrent, object-oriented language specifically designed for prototyping system architectures. Two principle design goals are (1) to provide constructs for defining executable prototypes of architectures, and (2) to adopt an execution model in which the concurrency, sync ..."

The Action Workflow approach to workflow management technology

by Raul Medina-mora, Terry Winograd, Rodrigo Flores, O Flores - In Proceedings of ACM CSCW’92 , 1992
