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. ...
If a fixed exponentially decreasing probability distribution function is used to model every object’s lifetime, then the age of an object gives no information about its future ...
Transportable agents are autonomous programs. They can move through a heterogeneous network of computers under their own control, migrating from host to host. They can sense the s...
Motivation: Database search programs such as FASTA, BLAST or a rigorous Smith–Waterman algorithm produce lists of database entries, which are assumed to be related to the query....
Domain-oriented design environments are cooperative problem-solving systems that support designers in complex design tasks. In this paper we present the facilities and architectur...
