Traditional programming languages assume that real-world systems have “intuitive”, mind-independent, preexisting concept hierarchies. However, our perception of the world depen...
Performance management (PM) is a key function of virtual organization (VO) management. A large set of PM indicators has been proposed and evaluated within the context of virtual br...
Scientific visualization and simulation frameworks mostly use data/event flow mechanisms for simulation specification, control, and interactivity. Even though object orientation p...
In this paper we adopt a component model based on object-oriented systems, introducing the concepts of components and their structure. A component consists of a dynamically changi...
We describe how to express homomorphic translations with an object-oriented design. This includes a uniform approach to the addition of external functionality to data structures. ...
