  • Preliminary X2 language reference manual

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David
    Abstract:
    X2 is an object-oriented programming language. Object-oriented programming models everything in the world as objects that have some local state that may vary with time. If the state of an object varies with time the object is mutable. If the state is time independent the object is immutable. Each object's...

  • Type systems of object-oriented programming languages

    Creator:
    Sandberg, David W.
    Abstract:
    Three different approaches to type checking have been taken in object-oriented programming languages. Smalltalk-80 uses run-time type checking. C++ uses subtypes. A third alternative is to use parameterized types. We examine the difficulties of programming in an object-oriented fashion with compile-time type checking and argue that parameterized types are better...

  • The role of documentation in program modification tasks

    Creator:
    Tolman, David M.
    Abstract:
    This paper reports the findings of two studies conducted at Oregon State University. The first set of studies compares use of header comments versus mnemonic procedure and function names by programmers performing tasks relating to modification tasks. The second study compares the use of header comments versus in-line comments when...

  • Preliminary results of an experimental study of the mechanical design process

    Creator:
    Ullman, David G., Stauffer, Larry A., and Dietterich, Thomas G.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the initial results from an empirical study of me­chanical design engineers. In this study, six engineers were video-taped solving real mechanical design problems. Preliminary analysis of this protocol data has yielded several important findings, including (a) me­chanical designers progress from systematic to opportunistic behavior as the design...

  • A transparent overlay for computer-based presentations

    Creator:
    Modem, Chandrakanth L.
    Abstract:
    The project aims at building an application that would simulate a transparency that can either be overlaid on top of the graphical display of another application or used as a stand-alone by accepting input from a keyboard or a mouse to enhance a presentation. The project provides an environment to...

  • Selling and buying in a distributed virtual market place

    Creator:
    Bella, Ravi
    Abstract:
    We present a model for a distributed virtual market place that can be con­structed on the Internet to support selling and buying requests, such as those found as classified advertisements. One requirement for a transaction to take place in the virtual market place is that a sell request and a...

  • Smalltalk-like collection classes in Java

    Creator:
    Sirimalle, Vinod
    Abstract:
    Data structures are essential for any programming task. Most of modem programming lan­guages have a library of reusable data structures. In this project, Smalltalk-like collection classes have been implemented as a Java package. This package, collections, con­tains several useful data structures such as binary tree, B-Tree, bag, list, hash table...

  • A study of the X2 Interpreter

    Creator:
    Andreas, Jim
    Abstract:
    This paper presents data obtained from measurements of the X2 Interpreter. The measurements were made to determine how to Increase the Interpreter's efficiency. The subroutine call operation was found to consume a significant percent of the execution time.

  • A SOAR-based computational model of mechanical design

    Creator:
    Warrier, Ulhas S.
    Abstract:
    Considerable progress ha been made in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) techniques to assist Mechanical Engineers in the detail design stages and adaptive redesign tasks. Currently, CAD tools support the designer in system layouts, sizing of components, drafting, analytical calculations, generating NC machining data and even motion or energy simulations. However, the...

  • TableView : a reusable view building block for the ViewBuilder environment

    Creator:
    Boerner, Dan
    Abstract:
    Software applications that successfully employ a grap ica user interface to display and manipulate their data are recognized as easy to use and difficult to implement. While the complexity of such applications has increased dramatically, the tools available to application designers have not advanced at the same pace. Current tools...
