Cryptographic systems are used for secure communications in the government, in industry, and by individuals. Many cryptographic systems base their security on our inability to factor quickly. For this reason, in the last few decades several fast factoring algorithms have been developed. The Quadratic Sieve is one of the best...
A video server is the multimedia equivalent of a data file server. As video goes digital video servers that support digital media are required for production and broadcasting in television companies. Grass Valley Group provides comprehensive digital video solutions through a range of video servers called Profiles.
The Profile Media...
Monitoring the performance of electrical utility assets is a critical activity for power companies. Gas chromatography has long been established as the analytical technique of choice for assessment of transformer fault conditions by detection of the presence of key fault gases through analysis of transformer oil. Chromatography is one of...
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an industry standard aimed to bring the web to handheld devices. The handheld devices are constrained by battery life and it becomes important that power is conserved across web transactions. The power consumed by the handheld device is directly proportional to the time taken for...
This report addresses the design and implementation of an internet-based grading tool for the "Translators" course. The motivation is to avoid exposing the instructor's Java byte-code to possible reverse-engineering tools and enable students to submit their homework virtually from any machine across the internet. This tool is intended to replace...
A multiparadigm language is one which combines features of different language paradigms. Leda is a strongly typed, compiled, multi.paradigm language with facilities for imperative, functional, object oriented and relational programming. This report describes the type checker of the Leda compiler and the implementation of first class functions required for functional...
In order to aid comparison of estimates of genetic parameters between dominant and codominant makers for population genetics society, we developed a genetic dominance simulation program to determine how the dominance and biallelism could affect the estimation of population genetic statistics. The simulation indicates that genetic diversities within populations based...
The Component Object Model (COM) defines a completely standardized mechanism for creating objects and for clients and objects to communicate. Unlike traditional object-oriented programming environments, these mechanisms are independent of the applications that use object services and of programming languages used to create the objects. In the present work, a...
The goal of this project was to investigate the addition of parameterized types to the Java programming language. Two different parametric polymorphism mechanisms were developed and compared. The first was a preprocessor and the second was a compiler.
Parameterized types allow a programmer to create generic programs. Much as a...
A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...
Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...
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...
In this report we present Java/MP, a multiparadigm language designed as an extension to Java. Java/MP is an
upward compatible superset of Java and incorporates the object oriented, functional and logical paradigms.
Java/MP programs are compatible with the standard Java virtual machine. Many of the ideas in Java/MP have
been...
The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...
A financial processor is the most important component of a credit union‘s IT infrastructure. A database storing member demographic information, account balances, and transaction history, it performs financial calculations, such as interest, dividends, and maturities. It also provides a user interface, allowing tellers and financial service representatives to manage accounts...
Hardwood lumber is a major forest product, and board grading is an important part of its manufacturing and marketing. Computer grading programs have been used to train graders and to grade lumber for board data banks, but they have not been used to machine-grade boards in an industrial environment because...
This is an attempt to increase the power of a spreadsheet and try to use the spreadsheet as a powerful programming tool. The basic idea is to treat each cell of the spreadsheet as an object. The cell (Object) could be programmed, that is, the attributes and the functionality of...
This paper describes the design and performance of a distributed, multi-tier architecture for scientific information management and data exploration. A novel aspect of this framework is its integration of Java IDL, the CORBA distributed object computing middleware with JavaBeans, the Java Component model to provide a flexible, interactive framework for...
Remote Event Listener(REL) is designed to glue remote events and remote listeners dynamically, and dispatch remote events efficiently and transparently
for distributed object-oriented systems. Components can be independently developed and remotely interconnected with REL, and software reusability can
be improved. Remote Event Listener along with Remote Method Invocation
makes distributed...
Almost every student in the School of EECS undergoes the process of Blanket Credit
Registration wherein the student has to fill out the form for registration, meet the
concerned professor and obtain his approval. The staff of the department has to maintain
the details of the student and the Professor...
