This paper considers an integration of asynchronous communication, virtual binding, and multiple inheritance. Object orientation is the leading paradigm for concurrent and distribu...
Web services technologies enable flexible and dynamic interoperation of autonomous software and information systems. A central challenge is the development of modeling techniques ...
Metaphor and other forms of non-literal language are essential parts of language which have direct bearing on theories of lexical semantics. Neither narrow theories of lexical sem...
We introduce a computational interpretation for Hilbert’s choice operator (ε). This interpretation yields a typed foundation for dynamic linking in software systems. The use of ...
Most programming languages adopt static binding, but for distributed programming an exclusive reliance on static binding is too restrictive: dynamic binding is required in various...
