Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...
Digital libraries are digitally accessible, organized collections of knowledge. Although under this broad definition any digitally accessible data set might be considered a digital library, the term is generally reserved for collections whose structures are carefully documented and made available in the form of so-called metadata. There is no specific...
This project aims to study the performance of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol implemented in JAVA for web applications. Secure Sockets Layer protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. In particular, this project focuses on an implementation of...
The Façade photometric modeling system, developed by Paul E Debevec at Berkley, is capable of transforming a sparse set of camera images of an architectural scene into a photorealistic 3D model. Users define a rough model out of primitive building blocks and mark where a portion of the edges of...
This thesis presents a domain specific visual language designed to allow coaches to create content that exhibits the complex 2D interactions observed in the game of American football. Coaches can visually program the content by using symbols and drawing primitives similar to those that they currently use to design static...
Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...
The N-Queens problem is commonly used to teach the programming technique of backtrack search. The N-Queens problem may also be used to illustrate the important concept of isomorphism. Here we show how the N-Queens problem can be used as a vehicle to teach the concepts of isomorphism, transformation groups or...
The increasing need to share and synchronize personal information, such as schedules, tasks and events, amongst users has lead to the development of inter-personal information management software like ChandlerTM. Chandler is being developed in Python at the Open Source Applications Foundation, San Francisco. Before I started working on the project...
Multiparadigm programming languages have been envisioned as a vehicle for constructing large and complex heterogeneous systems, such as a stock market exchange or a telecommunications network. General-purpose multiparadigm languages, as opposed to hybrid multiparadigm languages, embody several prevalent programming paradigms without being motivated by a single problem. One such language...
"This report describes the revised definition of the multiparadigm programming language Leda. The first section provides an introduction to Leda and a history of its development. Section 2 covers Leda preliminaries, section 3 details the overall structure of Leda programs. Declarations are discussed in section 4, expressions are the topic...
