CSL SEMINAR
                              
               AN OVERVIEW OF CAFE
         Kokichi Futatsugi, ETL/JAIST, Japan
          4:00 Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1992
    SRI International, Bldg. E, Room EJ 228

ABSTRACT:

Cafe is an environment for systematic development of formal specifications
and/or programs based on algebraic specification techniques.  Cafe is now
designed and implemented partially at ETL.  For the practical use of algebraic
specification techniques in the real problem solving, we need both a good
language and its supporting tools. We are now designing a language CafeOBJ
which offers object-oriented modeling scheme in algebraic framework.  The aim
of Cafe is to provide a set of basic tools for systematic development of
specifications/programs in CafeOBJ and for their testing.  In this talk, the
overview of CafeOBJ, Cafe, and Cafe Project is given.  The Cafe Project is
just started under the support of IPA/ETL in Japan.

European languages and Japanese, they will cover the following topics:

- the computer systems and software applications that can be used for
  word processing, page layout, and graphics creation
- the process of desktop publishing, going from text input and
  graphics creation, via formatting, table of content creation,
  indexing, and reviewing to the final steps of imagesetting and
  printing
- the problems of international communication, both from a technical
  and a human perspective

[deleted description of support renegotiations for ultra rich parents]

I don't feel sorry for him.  I wouldn't call him a poor sot.  The numbers
get a real emotional reaction from those of us who don't have the money to
live such lifestyles but I don't see why dad should not pay a fair proportion
of his income for child support.  One lawyer I interviewed when selecting
a divorce lawyer explained that even if mom doesn't want one cent of dad's
money he has to pay what the court deems the child is entitled to, given his
income.  I imagine they also take into consideration mom's income but I don't
know what else goes into coming up with support payment amounts that can be
enforced.  I'm not saying it's a perfect system but whether or not this judge
or anyone thinks the child has too much money available to her because most
other children don't is not the issue and I think by complaining about spoiling
the child, that that was what was bothering the judge that dissented, not 
whether the money was fairly split between the parents.  I'm sure that plenty
of parents in their social circles spend that kind of money and don't have it
brought into public view simply bacause they are still married.  The parents
divorce shouldn't give the courts control over saying whether or not she might
be spoiled or raised in a way the judge can't comprehend.  I don't know the 
details in this case and dad's income figures were noticeably absent while mom's 
were included but given his 10 million in the bank, and I doubt it's in a passbook 
savings account, he's probably taking in more than the stated income she receives 
on her millions.

What's wrong with wanting him to pay a fair share?  Everyone is so quick here
to assign evil intent to the woman and it seems like it's because she's asking
for him to pay his share.  Perhaps they spent like this before the divorce as
well.  He was only quoted as complaining that she had enough money.  He wasn't 
quoted as saying that she'd gone berserk on spending after the divorce.

variety of mostly upbeat rhythms, beats and live drumming.

a grounded safe  place where you  can take off  your shoes,  and simply
by listening to the music, explore and expand your own natural creative
expression.

A deeper awareness and opening to relationships can be accessed as each
of us  shares a  sense  of relaxed  community, exuberant energy, mutual
respect, and fun.

DYOD is a not-for-profit, cooperatively run dance, encouraging age,
cultural & socio-economic diversity.

There is only 1 little problem with this argument, is that if a male goes into
a hot tub, he kills off alot of sperm and thus can become infertile for a short
time.

Yes, you are right.  A male contraceptive has to kill or disable the vast 
majority of the sperm.   To be effective, a contraceptive has to reduce the
count to a level where there are essentially no sperm present.

The question of at what level a man is considered infertile is not relevent--this is 
probably a much higher number than the level which would be considered effective
in a contraceptive.

The rest of the previous comment about male contraceptives still holds.  To kill 
or disable most of the sperm requires much more intensive measures than are 
required in a female contraceptive.

	If I am misinterpreting the question then I apologize before hand,
but that question sounds a bit accusatorial. It's like you are guilty of
something if you are not married or have never been married. It's interesting
how the society sees marriage as a "success story" of some sort, and divorce
or being single as "failures." (even the tax system discriminates us!)

	For me, I heed the wise words from a cousin of mine( who has been 
married for 10 years): :"You got your college degree, you got your career on 
track, you bought your first house, you are about to turn 30. You should
really enjoy the next few years as a single person being on your own
because once you get married you'll never have the chance..."

	Again, if I am reading into it too much, I apologize.

Not true.  Lots of real women go to bars, as long as there is 
something else going on beside drinking, like a band, dancing, 
or comedy.  So don't generalize.

The child may be a third party beneficiary, but the thrust of the contract 
(pardon the pun) was to release the father from obligations to the child.  You
can grant benefits to a third party, but you cannot take rights from them by
a contract which they are not a party to.

(Unless it is health or pension benefits, of course.)
