Today, finite element technologies allow engineers to analyze complex assemblies and subsystems. With CPU power constantly increasing, it is not unreasonable to state that the eng...
Design patterns have been used in object-oriented frameworks such as the IBM San Francisco framework, Apple's Rhaspody, OpenStep, and WebObjects, and DIWB. However, few guide...
The paper presents the computational model underlying new agent communication languages. The model, called STROBE, has been identified and two prototypical languages inspired by th...
Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) often consist of applications that access shared resources such as databases. Since centralized systems may have a great impact on the system...
Abstract Method invocation mechanism is one of the essential features in objectoriented programming languages. This mechanism contributes to data encapsulation and code reuse, but ...
