289 series. The  is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) in Japan on limited express services in the Kyoto and Osaka area since October 2015. The trains were converted from former dual-voltage (1,500 V DC and 20 kV AC) 683-2000 series EMUs formerly used on Shirasagi services and made surplus following the 14 March 2015 timetable revision.

Operations

The 289 series trains were initially introduced on 31 October 2015 on Hashidate, Kinosaki, Kounotori (formed as 4- or 4+3-car sets) and on Kuroshio services formed as 6- or 6+3-car sets services, displacing the remaining JNR-era 381 series EMUs. Since the timetable revision on 26 March 2016, the 4- or 4+3-cars sets are used only on Kounotori services.

While the trains are similar in appearance and performance characteristics to the 287 series trains, they cannot operate in multiple.

Formations
, the fleet consists of five six-car sets and three three-car sets (39 vehicles in total) based at Kyoto Depot for use on Kuroshio services, and seven four-car sets and six three-car sets (46 vehicles in total) based at Fukuchiyama Depot for use on Kounotori services.

6-car Kuroshio sets
The six-car Kuroshio sets, numbered J01 to J05, are formed as follows.

Cars 1 and 4 each have one scissors-type pantograph.

3-car Kuroshio sets
The three-car Kuroshio sets, numbered I01 to I03, are formed as follows.

Car 7 has one scissors-type pantograph.

4-car Kounotori sets

The seven four-car Kounotori sets, numbered FG401, FG403, FG406, FG408 to FG411 and based at Fukuchiyama Depot, are formed as follows.

Cars 1 and 3 each have one scissors-type pantograph.

From 2016, the KuRo 288-2000 cars were modified with only half of the car assigned as "Green car" (first class) seating, and reclassified KuRoHa 288-2000.

3-car Kounotori sets

The six three-car Kounotori sets, numbered FH302 to FH305, are formed as follows.

Car 5 has one scissors-type pantograph.

Exterior
The sets based at Fukuchiyama Depot for use on Kounotori services are finished in the same livery as the Fukuchiyama-based 287 series EMUs also used on these services, with a thin maroon line below the windows. The sets based at Kyoto Depot for use on Kuroshio services have an "ocean green" turquoise line below the windows.

Interior
The 289 series trains feature western-style toilets, universal access toilets, and AC outlets for passenger use are provided on the end walls of the passenger saloons.

History
JR-West announced the first details of its plans to introduce the new 289 series trains on 28 April 2015. The first four-car set converted was test-run in May 2015.

The trains entered revenue service from 31 October 2015, replacing older 381 series trains.

Set FH301 was returned to the 683 series from April 2019. Set FH306 followed suit in June 2019.

Demand-based switching. Demand-based switching (DBS) is a computer technology term which refers to the process of using software to optimize the use of hardware resources.

Intel uses demand-based switching  power management technology to control power voltage consumption at different states of a computer's operations.  DBS routines select a minimum clock speed of the microprocessor appropriate to the workload which specific tasks being performed by the computer place on the processor.  This results in less electricity being consumed, both by the processor and by fans counteracting excess heat output.  

Intel's processor technology  takes advantage of DBS techniques.  AMD processors uses a similar process, which the company calls "Power Now".

Demand-based switching is also sometimes used in route-caching routines in local area networks to ensure efficient packet switching and traffic flow. Software DBS algorithms are frequently used in Linux servers.

Language workbench. A language workbench is a tool or set of tools that enables software development in the language-oriented programming software development paradigm. A language workbench will typically include tools to support the definition, reuse and composition of domain-specific languages together with their integrated development environment.  Language workbenches were introduced and popularized by Martin Fowler in 2005.

Language workbenches usually support:
 Specification of the language concepts or metamodel
 Specification of the editing environments for the domain-specific language
 Specification of the execution semantics, e.g. through interpretation and code generation

Examples
 Racket is a cross-platform language development workbench including compiler, JIT compiler, IDE and command-line tools designed to accommodate creating both domain-specific languages and completely new languages with facilities to add new notation, constrain constructs, and create IDE tools.

 JetBrains MPS is a tool for designing domain-specific languages. It uses projectional editing which allows overcoming the limits of language parsers, and building DSL editors, such as ones with tables and diagrams. It implements language-oriented programming. MPS combines an environment for language definition, a language workbench, and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for such languages.
 Kermeta is an open-source academic language workbench. The Kermeta workbench uses three different meta-languages: one meta-language for the abstract syntax (aligned with Emof); one for the static semantics (aligned with OCL) and one for the behavioral semantics (called the Kermeta Language itself).
 Melange is a language workbench that provides a modular approach for customizing, assembling and integrating multiple domain-specific language (DSL) specifications and implementations.
 Spoofax. is an open-source language workbench for generating parsers, type checkers, compilers, interpreters, as well as IDE plugins for Eclipse and IntelliJ. It uses SDF and a scannerless GLR parser for syntax, and formalisms derived from Stratego/XT for semantics.

 Xtext is an open-source software framework for developing programming languages and domain-specific languages (DSLs). Unlike standard parser generators, Xtext generates not only a parser, but also a class model for the abstract syntax tree. In addition, it provides a fully featured, customizable Eclipse-based IDE.

 Meeduse is an EMF-based framework that allows one to build, prove and animate executable domain-specific languages (xDSLs) using the B Method. The tool embeds ProB, and animator and model-checker of the B Method.
