Just-in-Time Systems for Computing Environments
Authors: Ralph L. Kliem, Irwin S. Ludin
Venue:  (1994)

:In the information highway age, Just-In-Time Systems - JITS - are becoming increasingly visible: customers want to purchase rather than develop customized computing systems and they want these systems now. JITS will allow for developing systems at the right time, in the right place, and at the right price to address the right needs. This is promoted by covenant relationships between customer and supplier; JITS developers recognize that all system development projects and their maintenance have commonalities. They can apply technical, operational, and managerial approaches to similar problems - the management structure or system components of a project, for example, may be applicable to similar projects and follow similar lifecycles. JITS developers, therefore, avoid "reinventing the wheel." JITS will not appear overnight; its adoption will only come through evolution, not revolution. This incremental growth does not, however, imply that it's not revolutionary in substance. Managers, designers, programmers, engineers, analysts, planners, librarians, quality assurance specialists, customers, users, and suppliers of computing systems can benefit from this book.
Incremental evaluation for attribute grammars with application to syntax-directed editors
Authors: Alan Demers, Thomas Reps, Tim Teitelbaum
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

A syntax-directed editor is a tool for structured program development. Such an editor can enforce syntactic correctness incrementally by restricting editing operations to legitimate modifications of the program's context-free derivation tree. However, not all language features can be described by the context-free formalism. To build editors that enforce non-context-free correctness, a more powerful specification technique is needed. In this paper we discuss the advantages of attribute grammars as a specification technique for a syntax-directed editing system. We also present an efficient algorithm for incrementally evaluating attributes as a program tree is derived.

Creating a reusable GUI component
Authors: Sara Stoecklin, Clement Allen
Venue: Software&mdash;Practice Experience (2002)

Application development of a large number of graphical user interface (GUI) screens and reports requires a labor-intensive process. In the typical scenario, a GUI developer drags each component, such as the textfield, label, and error messages, on each of the new GUI screens or reports. They then set the component properties and perhaps write any validation routines for input data. Using the proposed Observation Panel Bean (OPB), the developer drags only one component per field, and the OPB dynamically builds the GUI components with consistent properties and links the observation field to the needed validation routine. With little development effort these fields are simply selected from the data dictionary and placed on the GUI. The proposed OPB uses Fowler's observation pattern as a high-level abstraction representing attributes observed about information in the application domain. The panel collaborates with the observation pattern to set the label, error message, and properties of the various components. Yoder's validator pattern collaborates with the observation pattern and the data dictionary to validate the observations. The proposed OPB decreases GUI development time, adds adaptability to GUI design, and increases consistency in GUI component presentation.

Query optimization for CODASYL database systems
Authors: Umeshwar Dayal, Nathan Goodman
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

One of the tasks of MULTIBASE, a system for integrated access to heterogeneous distributed databases, is to present a high-level query interface to navigational systems such as CODASYL. The interface compiles queries into efficient programs that implement the queries. The principal problem in constructing such an interface is access path optimization, i.e., the selection of an optimal sequence of access paths that must be traversed to process a given query. This paper identifies a class of queries for which efficient programs can be synthesized. It characterizes the strategies for processing a given query, and shows how to synthesize a program for implementing each strategy. It develops a model for estimating the cost of executing a program, and uses this model to find the optimal strategy for processing a given query.

A comment on the presentation and testing of CALGO codes and a remark on algorithm 639: To integrate some infinite oscillating tails
Authors: Tim Hopkins
Venue: ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) (2002)

We report on a number of coding problems that occur frequently in published CALGO software and are still appearing in new algorithm submissions. Using Algorithm 639 as an extended example, we describe how these types of faults may be almost entirely eliminated using available commercial compilers and software tools. We consider the levels of testing required to instil confidence that code performs reliably. Finally, we look at how the source code may be re-engineered, and thus made more maintainable, by taking account of advances in hardware and language development.

On the internal structure of random recursive circuits
Authors: Hosam Mahmoud, Tatsuie Tsukiji
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

We study the joint probability distribution of the number of nodes of fan-out k in random recursive circuits. For suitable norming we obtain a limiting multivariate normal distribution for the numbers of node of fan-out at most k, where we compute explicitly the limiting covariance matrix by solving a recurrence satisfied among its entries.

Axiomatic definitions of programming languages, II
Authors: Joseph Y. Halpern, Albert R. Meyer
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

Sufficient conditions are given for partial correctness assertions to determine the input-output semantics of quite general classes of programming languages. This determination cannot be unique unless states which are indistinguishable by predicates in the assertions are identified. Even when indistinguishable states are identified, partial correctness assertions may not suffice to determine program semantics.
Planning animation cinematography and shot structure to communicate theme and mood
Authors: Kevin Kennedy, Robert E. Mercer
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

Standard techniques, such as soundtrack recording, storyboarding and key-framing, are used to create animation adaptations of narratives. Many aspects of the narrative, such as moods, themes, character motivations and plot, must he captured in the audio-visual medium. Our work focusses on achieving the communication of moods and themes solely through the application of well-known cinematography techniques. We present a planning system that transforms a description of animator intentions and character actions into a series of camera shots which portray these intentions. The planner accomplishes this portrayal by utilizing lighting, framing, camera motion, colour choice and shot pacing. The final output is an animation that is intended to produce a viewer impression to support the animator's description of the mood and theme of the narrative.

Testing Object-Oriented Software, 1st edition
Authors: David C. Kung, Jerry Gao, Chen-Ho Kung
Venue:  (1998)

:Object-oriented programming increases software reusability, extensibility, interoperability, and reliability. To realize these benefits you must use software testing. Software testing aims to uncover as many programming errors as possible with minimum cost. How to reduce the cost and improve the quality of software testing remains a major challenge to the software engineering community. The requirements for testing object-oriented programs differ from those for testing conventional programs. Testing Object-Oriented Software illustrates these differences and discusses object-oriented software testing problems, focusing on the difficulties and challenges testers face. The book provides a general framework for class-level and system-level testing and examines object-oriented design criteria and metrics of high testability. It offers object-oriented testing techniques, ideas and methods for unit testing, and object-oriented program integration-testing strategy. Readers are shown how they can drastically reduce regression test costs, presented with steps for object-oriented testing, and introduced to object-oriented test tools and systems. In addition to software testing problems, the text covers various test methods developers can use during the design phase to generate programs with good testability. The book's intended audience includes object-oriented program testers, program developers, software project managers, and researchers working with object-oriented testing.
